"One thing I&amp;amp;#8217;ve always found charming&amp;amp;#8212;and yes, a little humorous&amp;amp;#8212;is when friends in relationships slip and refer to their partners by their cutesy nicknames. I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s safe to say that most couples have nicknames for each other; they could just be abbreviated versions of their first names, sappy sentimental things or even special words that refer to a shared inside joke. Have you given your boyfriend any nicknames? For years I&amp;amp;#8217;ve called my husband Beagle. And at this point, I can&amp;amp;#8217;t remember how the odd pet name came to be. His aunt and uncle have a beagle&amp;amp;#8212;whom we both loathe&amp;amp;#8212;but I&amp;amp;#8217;m positive the moniker has nothing to do with an actual dog. My own nickname, however, evolved from this one. After calling him Beagle for awhile, I eventually shortened it to simply, &amp;amp;#8220;B.&amp;amp;#8221; He then started referring to me as &amp;amp;#8220;G,&amp;amp;#8221; which at the time was short for girlfriend. Though we&amp;amp;#8217;ve been hitched for some time, the names have stuck. My sweets, have you given your boyfriend any nicknames? Is it something quirky and unique? Or is it something sentimental like &amp;amp;#8220;Honey&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;Sweetie?&amp;amp;#8221; Do you call him by this name all the time? Or do you save it for when you two are alone? Feeling schmoopy?
