Pet names

[casualmadness]

I guess it's a S.O themed day...
Do you and your S.O have pet names for one another? If so, what are they? Why?

I call my g/f "Chicken." The reason? It's a play on the slang term "chick." She doesn't call me anything.

My ex wife called me "Punkin'." A bastardization of the word Pumpkin...because I'm a daywalker.

"Property"

Mine worked for several years in a Mexican restaraunt, where an older most-likely illegal alien dishwasher lady always pointed out(to my future wife)the cute guys coming in. She spoke no English, & would call out from the back, in a gravelly voice, "WETTA!"
I now(& for the past 10-15 of our 22+years together call her 'Wetta' almost exclusively. It gets some odd looks from the Spanish-speaking populace sometimes, as I'm pasty white.

Edit: Number 2 is Crazy Lady, & number 3, for when I need to justify my GAS, The Queen.

Mostly we call each other "baby" but sometimes I call him Tom Aito and he calls me "Boo Boo Kitty ****."

My girlfriend has taken to calling me "Matthew Beast" sometimes prefixed with "The Horrible", she thinks it is hilarious, especially when she decides to narrate whatever we are doing as though it was some fairy tale where she is the princess and I am the monster. It's all very well and good until I'm trying to get down with her and she does it - it really kills the mood, but she is cute when in hysterics.
