@OP: Hmmm, if the guy is Ibo, then at times I may end up blurting out things in Igbo to him. For the most past, I like to call guys "Fine bobo" when I'm being silly. I don't really have any particular way of calling a lover in Igbo but I will say this though. . . If I really do like someone, the way I say certain things to them in Igbo will be totally different from the may I would normally say it to them or another guy, or anyone one else as a whole. I've never really been into pet names. For the most part, the way I speak to the person will be different compared to how I speak to everyone else, regardless of whether its in Igbo, English, Pidgin, or Eglibo grin
