I have a nickname, that my brother used, as he couldn't say my name properly.
My parents then used it all the time I was living at home.
I thought I would lose it when I met my husband to be, but, no, he uses it nearly all the time.

I answer to them all…if I’ve got my hearing aid in 😂

I was thinking about this after reading the pet name thread.

If your other half or anyone you know has a nickname do you call them by it or use their proper name?

Somewhere I worked years ago I had a nickname. I’m not often called it these days. My brother has changed it slightly and calls me his variation often and I am also called different names by different people.
