Thought it would be interesting to find out others OHs names and their nicknames if they have been given one and maybe why?
My husbands name is Frederick Most call him Freddie
I call him FredBut refer to him as Mr Boswell to all our joint friends as hes got grey hair now.. and got very wrinkly skin!!
Can anybody remember the comedy soap called Bread with the Boswell family..

I am refered to as Harpic as my OH says that sometimes I drive him round the bend.
He is known as "El Tel" for obvious reasons and his passion for football

hmmm..... most people call me Lol (shorter than Laura and less severe sounding). Or 'Sue Pyke's Daughter' 
Most of my felmale friends all refer to each other as 'bint', 'wench' etc... and I get 'poshbird' from certain people when I am getting stroppy and plumb in gob-like!

Oh looks like Homer Simpson - Hence the nickname of Homer
He calls me Heff - can't even remember how that came about!
Best nickname is for my sister in law Judith - she's been called Smelly Jubbs since she was 4 (she's in her late 40's now and even my 5 year old son calls her by her nickname!)
My mother in law has been dubbed Nanny Monster by Christopher - he sings the " whats that coming over the hill - is it a monster" tune to her - but changes the "is it a monster" to Its nanny monster Thankfully, she has a good sense of humour! |

When my kids were little we used to do the rounds visiting all of the grandparents. They called one set "big gates" and the other "little gates", because of the size of the gates on their drives. My grandma was known as "backdoor grandma" because she lived next door and we always popped in by the back door.
When my son was young he told everyone his name was Chad because he didn't like Richard and his little chum called himself Ped because he didn't like Peter. You spend nigh on nine months trying to pick a name for your children and more often than not they say "why did you call me that?" lol.

My OH is known as "John the Sack" as he seems to fire a lot of people....but you get a lot of dozy slackers asking for work on building sites....so John hires 'em..... but if they turn out to be useless, he fires 'em just as fast!
Don't know that he HAS got a nickname for me ( not one he's repeated to my face, anyway! )....and I've ever only called him John!
How unimaginative are we then?!?!
Talking of "Bread", when I first met John, who comes from a HUGE family in Nother Wales, just across the water from Liverpool, a friend asked me what the others in his family were like....and I replied, "Think of BREAD?...... more and worse!" |

| My OH is called Paul but inexplicably gets 'Bob'. He calls me Snarly Weasel cos apparently I'm always in a bad mood with him, or Mully, short for Mullingar Heifer - a very large breed of Irish cow. Lovely. You can see why he's often in the bad books!!! |

My Mum calls my Meecy. My Dad used to call me "baggy legs" when I was a baby because I was small and my nappies were huge- this stuck as I grew and as a child I retaliated by calling him "Mrs Dolly" as in a Dolly peg doll I had made (showing my age now!) It became a competition- we tried to catch each other out and were still doing so up until when he died 3 1/2 years ago. He also called me Maisie, from the Perishers because I could hear a toffee wrapper from upstairs and also called me Maggot- I think because I was a scrawny little kid!
I loved my dad very much and we had a good laugh and I still miss him like mad. We were and still are a very close family as anyone who knows us will tell you.
Sadly, my marriage was pants and we didn't bother with names until I left and divorced him and I can't really put those on here!!
My Dad also nicknamed my daughter Munchkin and we still call her that now. But she does ask that we don't use it at school!!! |
