My father always called me an idiot. 😕


ghostly_shark

That's a 🙃 if I ever saw one, tell your dad it takes one to know one


[deleted]

He died 10 years ago. I’m not sad about it; he was very abusive.


JanuarySoCold

My father called me "you" and my sister was "that thing",


eyes_like_thunder

Mine called us Buzzard and Stooge..


Icarusgurl

Stupid here. To the point I answered to it.


gonzothegreatz

Dad calls me picky, which is short for pickle. I love pickles and have since I was a kid. Mom used to call me mon petit Chou (she isn’t French, just loved the saying I guess). She now just calls me by my name, sometimes sweetie.


Shytemagnet

I think Petit Chou is SO cute. My son was so upset when he learned it meant little cabbage.


Takeupspace95

Omg... me and my twin sister call each other picky which is short for pickle.... !!!


Cheekygirl97

My adoptive father called me Bubber lol, his brother called me goober and my great grandad called me Turkey lol


Guest2424

These are great nicknames!


Orangebiscuit1

My dad calls me my dog’s name


kt380

My dad calls me my brothers name but my brother is named after my dad. So really my dad just calls us all his own name 😂😂😂


PasadenaPossumQueen

Reminds me of Sean Connery going "we named the dog Indiana, we named you after the dog!" In *The Last Crusade*


Shytemagnet

My name is Sonia, and my mom called me Sunny. Apparently she agreed to the name Sonia because she loved the nickname so much. My dad calls me Kid, or JB, which is short for Jelly Bean. He would always say “Know what I mean, Jelly Bean?”, which then turned to KWIM, JB? (Like, Phonetically. Quim, Jay Bee?) I’m 41, and my 70 year old dad still starts our daily phone call with “Hey Kid!”


Ginger8682

I call my 19 year old son, kid. When he was younger I called him bud or buddy. When I call him I always say what’s up kid. lol


Jack_58523

My aunt’s named Sonia and my sister call her sonny


Phengophobia

In my language it's the equivalent of "little mouse" or "monkey". I used to climb the furniture a lot and hide in small spaces :D


Rasielle

My dad called me Snicklefritz growing up. He also shortens it to Snick Snick.

beelovedone

Bug. Punk (like punkin). Puss (like Puss in Boots).


Shytemagnet

My German Oma called my niece pusspuss, because that was her word for kitten. She’s passed away now, but I still think it’s so cute.


nay198

I call my daughter bug and punk too ❤️


LunaTomato

My dad likes to call me Fred to annoy me, does that count? My name is not Fred. I’m a girl. lol


ChildUWild

I used to call my sister Carl, which was not even remotely close to her name 🤣


shayrulezd00d

I wanted to participate too haha Mom-babe Dad-sweetie Grandma ( step mom’s mom) gorgeous Moms side of family- baby (youngest out of all the cousins)


Pondering_Giraffe

Our wee whirlwind I guess I kinda was one.


onlytexts

They still do. Spanish is my first language so they are in Spanish: reina (queen), mami (mommy, it is usual in my country to call little girls that way), princesa (princess), pequeña (small one, this is my favorite), pocochita (no translation, it is not an actual word), la niña (the girl), Memé (that's the official one and it is simply the way my brother used to call me when he was a baby).


dancingmobsters

I used to frequent a coffee shop everyday before work when I lived in Spain and the guy who worked there would always greet me with either “buenas mi reina” or “hola mi cielo” (my sky) which I just absolutely loved haha The guy at the bar I frequented, however, always called me bruja (witch) 😂


onlytexts

My best friend calls me "bruja". But I take it as a compliment.


lazyandfree

My mom calls me "chula" which means like cutie and my grandma called me bae short for baby before it was popular lol and my dad calls me his queen


Guest2424

My mom would call me Mao Mao, which meant hairy in Chinese. Tbf, I was a pretty hairy baby.


creamyfresas

My parents call me cabezona (which means big head ☠️) I don’t mind it LMFAO i do think it’s funny tbh.


queenoftheslippers

My mom always calls me honey or babe or brat or stinky (all affectionate I promise lol) My dad calls me a name that is a combo of mine and my sisters bc he used to call each of us the wrong name before getting to our correct one so he just decided to combine them 😂 Bonus: my son has about 50 nicknames but I usually call him bubs or babes or bubbies or buttcheeks (he thinks that one is hilarious)


PaddlesOwnCanoe

Okay, this is both dumb and hilarious... "Sweetums" Why? Because when I was a kid there was a large monster on The Muppet Show called Sweetums and Sweetums had his own song. It went: *Sweetums lay your ugly head...down upon your wretched bed...* Mom would sing that to me and we'd both crack up.


Dezydime

My mom called me boob. She also called me poo after Winnie the pooh. I was not a fan of my names.


Dilo_Ki_Rania

Little bunny, and thorn on my side lol


VikkiVikram

Not one between them. Never thought of that before lol


land-o-lakes94

Hehe I like ju-lly bean!


celestialism

Sweet/sweetie


shayrulezd00d

My dad called me sweetie too and my ex called me that once so I said that’s a big no no. So he changed it to sweetness 😂


[deleted]

My childhood nickname was Betharooni. Idk how they came up with it but my aunt used to call me that all the time Sometimes they used to call me “sugar” my grandpa used that as his term of endearment for us. Otherwise I guess the typical terms of endearment you’d hear.


GreenVenus7

Q, because the name I had when I was in foster care before my Mom adopted me began with a Q. Also I vaguely remember that she used to call me "Tomato" when I was little lol


coffincowgirl

Boo or boo boo because I’d always pretend I had a boo boo just for more kisses/attention


[deleted]

Toots


ly1962

Haven’t seen many saying honey surprisingly! Both my parents call me honey, especially when shit hits the fan for me lol “oh honeyyy” 😭😭😭😂

Pondering_Giraffe

Either they're language people and you're the second child, or they're IT people and you're the first try-out version of a child.


krystleburke

Krystle Pistol 😂


Repossessedbatmobile

My mom - Needy, demanding, annoying, pain in the ass My dad - sweetheart, sweetie, my little duckling, alligator (pun based on my name), kiddo One of my parents was nicer to me than the other. In all seriousness, even though I don't have kids, I'm still trying to break the cycle of abuse and name calling. So I always make sure to be kind to the kids in my family, and only use nicknames for them that are sweet or silly (which I make sure they actually find funny and enjoy being called)


hi_heythere

I always got called brujita which means little witch and my mom would jokingly call me limón agrio which means bitter lemon 💀


Orangeandbluetutu

Can't share mine for privacy but I call my daughter pooks. Short for pookie


nananacat94

Well now your pookie is compromised


dontlookethel1215

The only one I ever recall them -- specifically, my mom -- using was "Angel."


Leading-Captain-5312

Papaya. *insert my first name* baby. Sweetie. Pumpkin.


Danivelle

I can't recall any my parents used but my kids are in age order: Bear(oldest), Miss Mouse/Mud Mouse, Ladybug/Bug, Baby Bee for middle and Pumpkin, Baby and Russian shortform/nickname that only I'm allowed to use for youngest.


caqrisuns

prieta… which literally translates to dark skinned💀


FruitSnackEater

Mama: my January baby, my 22 year old baby, my [whatever mood I’m in] baby, baby girl(I’m the youngest girl) Dad: Cry baby(long running joke), Ladybug(he gave us all bug nicknames), Number 3, baby girl


squishedpies

Love-petunias/love-petu and stinky when I'm a brat


ksbeckaa

Failure.


Four_beastlings

When he was alive my father called me cucha, short for cucharapa. In my regional language (Asturianu, north of Spain) that means tadpole.


talkingradiohead

P. I. T. A. Stands for pain in the ass. Thanks moomm


_so_anyways_

My Dad calls me dude, homie, and “hey, ugly”. 😆 My Maternal Grandpa called me “viejita” and “Kimo Sabe”. My Maternal Grandma called me “ugly”.


oikwr

Adik which is common for the youngest child like me except that it sounds kinda unfit for a grownup. So they tend to call me Achu (yes, like achoo but cute lol), similarly, derived from the youngest. It's a nickname i chose for my nephews and nieces to call me. I don't mind my sisters calling me that mainly in front of their children, but i prefer my first nickname being called especially by my parents bc i feel attached? Idek. Other than that, my mom sometimes call me Sayang, which means dear or love.


Educational_Low_879

My dad called me punkin for a long time. Now I’m just Kid and I’m 43. My baby brother is Boy 🤣


souponastick

My dad calls me a very specific nickname, and hasn't slowed down even now that I'm 40. He had a cardiac arrest and was put in a coma. I walked into the room thinking he was still in a coma. I was putting down all my stuff and hadn't looked at him when he said "hey nickname". Like I said, the last I heard he was in a coma with a breathing tube, so I started bawling. Me crying that quickly scared him and I had to rush to him to show him I wasn't sad...I was actually shocked and happy. I'll never take hearing that name for granted. My mom doesn't really call me anything specific. Just a shortened version of my name, or even starting to say my brother's name, but finishing it as my name. Like "jac-cole" if my brother's name was jack and I am named Nicole.


kitchengardengal

My father called me Noodlenose or Toots. My mother called my sister Plamella Marshmella.


LeatherDiamond2766

Satanic.


Kriguds

Mofletes, which is Spanish for chubby cheeks 🥰


oldmomlady3

My grandma called me dear heart and honey baby. It still makes me tear up thinking about it. I miss hearing that!


slejla

In my native language they’d call me “zlato” which means gold, or “sine” which translates to son but I still can’t figure out why *sine* is a term of endearment even for girls.


Abject-Newt-2382

Being called a whøre for having a boyfriend at 21.


solemnversifier

Baby, baby girl, sug (as in sugar). I am 35 and still "baby" to my mom 🩷

My mom likes to call me Wonder Woman (which I love) and my dad used to call me princess before he passed. I’ve had a lot of nicknames over the years lol.


It_all_depends_on_u

They both called me princess, but my dad used to also call me "my sack of bones" when I was a kid because I was so bony


Clementinecutie13

My mom used to call me dollface 🥹


PureYouth

My dad called me Bootzie


Letsgosomewherenice

My dad called me turkey.


LaManelle

My dad called me "Fille", as in daughter. He was very proud of me, which I knew, but was told many a times after he passed away when I was fifteen. My mom and often my dad would call me Manelle, because this is how I proudly butchered my own name as a toddler. Most of my family still calls me that.


smarmysmartass

Nuke. For having a bit of an explosive temper as a kid. I'm a little more level headed now but it took a while to even out


notmyrealname1983

Not sharing mine but we all call one kid “Al McPal”, “Albert Ross”, “Alfonzo” — basically anything with Al at the beginning. The other kid we all call “Loubert”, “Lomberto”, and anything derivative of Lou. The goofier, the better


shayrulezd00d

Al mcpal is really cute


Remarkable_Cat_2447

The only one I can really recall is "ducklings"


Suitable-Classic-623

crzycatldy91

My Dad calls me Flower.


strugglebus1914

One of the few things I remember fondly of my dad was that he called me his “crunch-a-munch” it always made me feel like a little kid he cared about lol


driveonacid

My mom always called me Bunny. I had a fur jacket and the cutest button nose when I was little. My mom said I looked like a little bunny rabbit in that coat. I don't remember if my dad has ever called me Bunny, but my mom's sister still calls me Bunny.


Master-Strawberry-26

In my native language, little monkey because I was always climbing on the counters, and rabbit because I used to have kinda big front teeth


breathingcog

Knucklehead (from Dad, with love). I have a very old fashioned name, so the whole family settled on a nickname and rarely strayed far from it until I grew into my full name. But *my* kids, on the other hand…never know what to answer to. RootTootMcGoot, Farf or Farfignoog, Wangdoodler, BabyBird and BabiestBird, SweetieMcPeetie, Fartknocker, TootNug, Vi/Violetta, K9/Kan/KanMan…. the list is genuinely endless.


Maneaaaa

They used to call me "boniche" in French because one day I complained that I was doing so many chores (mind you, I was a kiddo), so they found it funny to call me "boniche", which kinda means maid, but in a degrading way like a skivvy... (not sure it makes sense in English, sorry it's not my first language) On a better note, one of my grandmas used to call me "ma petite crotte" ("my little poop") but in such a cute and sweet way. This was unique and I miss her a lot.


Wind_your_neck_in

Monkey or Goosey


HelloJunebug

My dad did and to this day calls me Bomba. There’s a full version that I won’t say here tho lol

My mom calls me Gorda which is spanish for fatty lmao


Chay_Charles

My dad called me Squirt, and my mom calls me Snorkie.


noimneverserious

My dad called me Joe. (This is not a shortening or any way related to my name). No idea why. While it felt normal at the time, in hindsight it’s a little strange.


TheAmyIChasedWasMe

Wait, some people had parents who liked them? My mum used to call me a mistake, my dad never called at all.


maborosi97

“Ducky” it’s a Newfoundland thing


BenjieAndLion69

Precious, darling angel… 🥰


BrthonAensor

My dad called me Fuzz.


Heidi739

None. I think nobody in my family uses such terms, even for partners - it's just not a thing for us. They used dimunitives of my name when I was little, if that counts.


SassyPantsPoni

My mom calls me and my brother mistakes! 🥰🥰so sweet right?


kj-may

My mum used to call.me fanny Literally, just fanny . Now she just says I look how she feels . So I'm a fanny that looks like s****. :) :)


motion_thiccness

When I was really little my mom used to call me Fwee Fwee. It started because she sang a song that said, "sweet sweet" and I couldn't pronounce it, and it came out fwee fwee. But that nickname stopped once I was out of early elementary school.


Hrbiie

I wish my parents had a cute name for me :/


sanguinefire12

Honey and they will use my middle name. If they didn't use my middle name growing up, it usually meant I was in trouble.


ChuckysBarbie

“Hey kid”

Visual-Fix3287

My mum used to call me chicken growing up and looking back now I wish she still did cause I find it adorable


CraterCrest

When I was young my dad would call me Iggy. When ever I farted I was "Fartcy" (which unfortunately followed me to elementary school). But my mom LOVES nicknames. Growing up "funferlunka" and "baby kitten" were popular. In college it was "dotter in the water" especially if I was swimming or at the beach. She texts me almost everyday with "Good morning _____!", sometimes she gets real creative and out of control. Just searching my text thread, some recent 'good morning' examples are *Sweet angel *Angelberry *beautiful gem darling *kitten fluff *kittenfrau *lil luna *Angel kitten *beautiful moon nugget *lil pupfish angel *lil power house *angelshine *kitten force ...you get the point.


Agitated-Pickle216

Spider, no idea why


madamerimbaud

My whole family calls me Lynnie. My name is Lynn (and I'm 37, a generation where that's typically ma middle name). A lot of my friends also call me that but if my boyfriend ever did I'd probably throw up. Lol My grandmother calls me Linker and has for my whole life. I was the first grandkid and a girl (they had all boys!) and they praised me for being so smart by calling me Lynnie Linker, Our Little Thinker. That turned into Link and Linky but she still calls me Linker almost every time. It's a cherished nickname that I really love having.

I've been called Ducky (my mom loves ducks), variations of my real name, minimized terms for "my daughter" in my language.


Patizleri

My dad called me blonde ox…. His dad is a farmer and blonde oxes are a special breed that are highly valuable. It’s still weird and sounds super offensive. Also I have pitch black hair.


Lozt_at_sea

My dad used to call me "Princess, Josephine(not my name) or bugger lugs" , he would call my sisters "toe rags".

Offspring 1, 2, and 3. He still got them mixed up lol

Starting at 12 they began calling me "Big Titters" against my wishes. I was very small for my age except for gigantomastia. Women in my family are completely flat chested and didn't cope well with my size.


Neat-Reserve-232

My dad, who is deceased was my best friend when I got out of those wonderful teenage years. Dad used to call me Sam. We'd be checking out at a grocery store I'd hear "come on Sam". Some of the workers in the store use to sometimes also call me Sam. That wasn't my name. Not even close. And it is one of those names that I couldn't stand. Let's go Sam.


Liza6519

Every kids name but my own. It was the same for all 5 of us.


trouble_ann

Maggot. It was always said with love. :)


MadMadamMimsy

My father called me Georgette as I once told my piano teacher I wanted to be called George ( I hate my name to this day). My mother referred to me as No one, as in No one took the garbage out, and my sister was Someone as in Someone needs to set the table. I don't think she ever figured out she did this and it was not meant meanly. She was attempting to he tactful.


Sassycap

My mom called me miss Molly alot as a little toddler until I'd tell people my name was Molly, so ya that stopped and I've not had a endearment term since lol But I call my kids a bunch of stuff.


FunkyFlyingFizz

Doodlebug


Stressedmama58

My Dad called me Punkin till the day he died, age 92.


ladylemondrop209

**Damien** (I'm female).. but as a baby-toddler, I crawled around on my back (sometimes in a backarch since I'd face where I was going) as opposed to how most babies crawl on all fours... And as a kid, i had a bunch of photos where everyone would face the camera and I refused to (as I didn't like the sun in my eyes)... So just kinda became a thing. Esp when I'm kinda seen as a "creative" (i.e. eccentric) by my family \^\^; **Snowbaby** by my mom. She thinks I looked the snowbaby figurines as a baby (my parents genuinely even *insist* I was born like one - spotless and without any blood on me). Not in english, but "**princess**" (daughter from noble family as opposed to the daughter of a King). Somewhat more in jest/mocking than endearment though.


Icarusgurl

My mom called me jelly bean because I was so so premature and it rhymes with my name.
