Today Drake called me “missy” in a blog comment and though it was meant to be snarky I couldn't help being delighted. Then I got a phone call from my cousin where he came back at me with his normal, “listen, Lady!” and I had to laugh. I laughed because something about being called anything but Julie (my name) or Jewels (what most people call me) just makes me a bit giddy.
I love pet names! I know some women get moody about the terms of endearment and nicknames that their men give them. I don't care if you call me "turd face" as long as you do it sweetly. Okay, well maybe I do mind “turd face” but most names I find absolutely adorable.
I have been called a multitude of names in my life…
· Butt much-which is my father’s name for me. Isn’t he so sweet?
· Sweetie, honey, baby, Hun, and babe-the old standby’s
· Lady (though mostly by my cousin)
· J, Jazz (my initials are JAZ), Jewels, Jewel, and Julieson (mostly by friends)
· Jalana (pronounced Ja-Lay-Na) which is a combination of my name mixed with my sister Alana’s (pronounced A-Lay-Na) that my mother uses for any of us 4 girls despite the fact that Nicole and Gina’s names are nowhere in there.
I love when I am in relationships and get a pet name. It is so freaking cute. Short of calling me “mommy” I find it sweet and sexy. You want to call me (and I have been called all the following) Pumpkin, Pudding, Sweetie Pie, Sweetheart, Lover, Tigress ;-), Goddess (yes one ex called me this constantly), Princess, Angel, Dear, Darling, Agape Mou (“my love” in Greek and a personal favorite of mine), Baby Girl then go right ahead. In no way do I find these names condescending, offensive or diminutive. I eat them up.
Here is where I have no problem being coddled, cuddles, and made to feel precious. I love feeling girlie and protected. Something about these pet names makes me feel cared for, provided for, treasured, and absolutely adored by my man. I have friends that hate them. They will bite back with, “I’m not your baby!” or with some argument about not wanting to feel belittled.
I am a strong, confident and secure woman and I love being babied by my man with sweet terms of endearment. I love him calling to say, “Hi, baby. I was thinking about you and had to talk to you.” Or “You are my Goddess…what would I do without you?” I love the confidence and familiarity they project. When a man can be sweet enough to call you a pet name with no sense of reservation in front of his friends…well that makes me want to pull him into the nearest room and show him just how sexy I think that is. If he is hanging with his friends and I bring in some beers and he grabs my hand on the way out to pull me down for a quick kiss and says, “Thanks, Angel.” Well…he is getting lucky later that night.
I also love the term "little lady" or "woman". I have no problem with somebody calling me "woman". As in, "Listen up, woman!" I can't even get mad...if we are fighting I immediately don't care anymore. I am sure in the right situation I would be livid if somebody called me, "woman" but I haven't found it yet. I think it's adorable when older gentlemen call me, "darlin" or "sweetie"...come on...that is straight up adorable!
How do you feel about pet names? Do you have one or one for your significant other that is cute and unique that you want to share? Do you have an aversion to them? Do you use them only in private settings and not in public? I’d love your take on this.
I also have to thank all my followers because I have made it to 70 followers and am so excited! I am so happy that I have been able to blog about an array of topics from online dating, cancer, music, sexy men, drunken rants, and most recently birth order (I LOVED all the feedback for that one) and you have rolled with each topic without ever saying to me, “What the hell were you thinking!” So thank you for letting me be me and supporting my writing no matter what I am writing about. I appreciate it so very much.
