Very cute. We call each other "fool"! Who knows why but it has turned into a really cute name that even the kids use now:)

@Tarren

funny, i went to high school with a guy whose real name was Semaj (his father's name was James) and he pronounced his name Suh-Mahj.

I know this is an old post, but I had to respond. My slow self still can't figure out how to pronounce it. I was trying though.. lol. But, I call James, Semaj.... The story behind that is funny. When I'm in Savannah and he's 300 miles away in Athens, I would miss him soooo much! So, I'd talk about him all the time to my friends. Finally, they told me that they were tired of hearing his name, so I started saying Semaj, which is James spelled backwards! lol. It's pronounced Say-Ma-Juh. lol.

Rach - Originality, I like it! Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Dee - Ok, your secret's safe with me! ;-)

Modern Mami - If Mommy and I were married, and I referred to her as just my "girlfriend", I think she would kill me!

My husband has tons of names for me and now for our baby girl. Like you, we also know we're in trouble if we call each other by our real names. :)

I usually call him papi/papa, but sometimes baby daddy. Loong story on that as well. lol

He sometimes calls me girlfriend, amongst the MANY other names he has for me.

Thanks for sharing your story!

Hi. I came via Entrecard and discovered your site. You have a lovely and informative site.

I think it's wonderful that you have special way of calling one another. Ever since we became parents, I started calling my hubby Dad and he calls me Ma.

Keisha - Mocha and Peanut Butter, must be you guys' complexions. Am I right? And I still sometimes refer to Mommy as my "girl/woman" although we're engaged. We were together as boyfriend and girlfriend for so long before we got engaged recently that "fiancee" hasn't yet stuck to me since I've been using "girl/woman" for so long. I'm pretty sure it'll start sticking to me by the time we get married, but by then I'd have to start referring to her as my wife! This is way too much work! :-)

Tanyetta - So DJ calls his daddy/your husband "sweetie"? LMAO!

Sheliza - I see you're the second person to say that you're still confused as to how it's pronounced. I knew a lot of people would be even though I tried my best to explain. So I think I'm going to upload an audio or video of me saying "Hounie" so everyone will know how it's pronounced. Then I'll add it to this post!

Jane - I love watching CSI: Miami too so I know exactly what you're talking about, but I just think it's hilarious that he wants you to call him "S" solely because they call Horatio "H"! Just like a man, huh? Reminds me of this guy I work with who is a HUGE Star Wars fanatic. He seriously wants everyone to call him "Darth Vader"!

I had indeed wondered what the heck "Hounie" meant! Thanks for clearing it up! You guys are really cute. :)

I just call my husband "Honey" (pretty boring, I know)... although he's trying to get me to call him "S." His name is Steve, but he loves the show CSI: Miami and how they call the main character, Horatio, "H." So he's trying to get that to catch on with him. It's not.

He calls me "Baby Couto" or "Baby C" (Couto is my maiden name) or just "Honey" or just "Janie."

Keisha — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:43:19 -0000

That's so cute. I haven't seen you two use that term yet but I only started viewing your site yesterday. :o) I'll keep my eyes open for it although I am still confused on how you two pronounce it ( just like you said I'd be).

The ones we use, I don't think we say in front of anyone and I should be too embarrassed admit but they are : Mocha (me) & PB- short for Peanut Butter (him). Please don't ask. Lol.
We mainly use them when sending e-mail or text to one another.

Publicly, I call him hubb, hubby , hon, baby, babe or Mr. Smith.
I, too, usually reserve the first name for serious times.
I think he mostly calls me Keisha around others ; thus far I've been unsuccessful at getting him to call me "wifey". Lol.
It's not that I really want him to, it's just that he can't stand the term or the song of the same name ("Next" was it ?)so I like to meddle; The closest I've ever gotten was a couple of months ago when he accidentally referred to me as his "girl"- I hadn't heard him say that since '99 or 2000. :o)

I hope y'alls day is blessed.
:)
