Question for those of you whose partner’s affectionate nickname for you—'zayka' (bunny) or 'kisa' (kitty)—feels special: would you be upset if you were called by your real name instead of that nickname? In the early days of our relationship, my boyfriend didn’t call me by my name; he called me 'kisa.' Now he calls me by my name, and it’s pleasant, somewhat unusual, and not what we’re used to. But lately we argue a lot; it seems the love has faded.

I would be offended if people called me an animal. It's incredibly annoying, and I like my own name.

No.
On the contrary, it's strange to me when people call me 'kisa', 'Masya', etc. 🤦🏼️
Expressing love isn't about words; it's about actions.

Well, if this is making you want to start an argument, it's not surprising that you end up arguing often.

Maybe he's just grown up.

Would you be offended? :)

Ekaterina I'm just curious— is he the father of your children, or a new man?

My husband has always called me 'bunny.' After we had kids, 'mom' started to pop up as well 🤣 No, I'm not offended at all.

Maybe he just forgot your name? ;) After all, he finally found your passport and peeked at it.

Honestly, I really don't like being called pet names like 'pupsik', 'sweetie', or 'kitty', and so on.
I wouldn't mind if you called me by my name.

What really bothers me are nicknames like 'zaya' and 'kisa'. Please don't call me by those names; I do have a name.

I wouldn't be offended, though my husband rarely calls me by name.
Probably once every five years 😃

He tends to get offended if I call him by his name. He bristles at it right away: 'What, already Mitya?' 😂 So we stick to affectionate nicknames like bunny, baby, and kitten 🥰

Olesya I've always called him by his name, but he used to call me 'Kitty.' And now he's calling me by my name here. I've already said, 'Oh—by name now.' Okay then. 😀🙂

This happens to me with my husband. Once, when I was in a panic, I called him by his name, and he was so surprised that he immediately started listening to my complaints 😂

I would be very surprised, and I’d already be wondering what I’d done 😁

People either call us by our names or as 'mom' and 'dad' 😁—it's been like that for about 15 years.

I'd be surprised. We haven't called each other by name even once, it seems to me. 😀

Olesya When we started talking, I initially called him 'Mitayka' (that's what everyone calls him). Then I began affectionately calling him 'Mitusha.' And then he told me himself, 'Why not malysh (baby)?' 😄 I thought that if I called him that, he would later tell me, 'What, I’m not your baby?' 🤣 So that's how we call each other now. I actually like it a lot. I'm 33, and my husband is 37. 🤣

No, I’m not offended, and what’s the point? Everyone has a name. My partner often calls me by my name, and I also call him by his name quite a lot. Sometimes we call each other affectionate nicknames. For example, from my side we might say 'dear' or 'darling' or 'honey' or 'bunny'; from his side he might call me 'sweetheart' or 'darling' or 'bunny' or 'little one'. And we also use affectionate words to address each other.
