Also we can talk about which ones are problematic if you’d like.
For some reason we both like to call each other something which sounds like “i-nuh” with a rising inflection.
Don’t know where or how it started, but it just sounds cute.

Call my cats chicken a lot
I like terms of endearment, don’t use them much (except for animals when they overflow, will tell a cat I’ve just met I love u) but like to hear them. Actually I use somali ones for my mum. Basically my mother and any cat

I used to call my youngest “Bob” which she was always perfectly happy about (can’t remember how it started, maybe it was a blackadder thing?)
Anyway one day I was picking her up from her classroom after Year 5 sportsday and I called “BOB!” across the class to get her attention and her whole class laughed at her and I never heard the end of it and I am now forever banned from calling her Bob.
