Nicknames: The Private Code for Love
By Dr. Charles D. Schmitz and Dr. Elizabeth A. Schmitz
"the marriage doctors" and Authors of the Book
Golden Anniversaries: The Seven Secrets of Successful Marriage
(Available at Amazon.com) .
Over our 40+ years of marriage we have met thousands of couples that deeply loved each other. We have interviewed many, many of them for our book on successful marriage. In nearly every case, they had an affectionate nickname for each other – a sort of private “code” for saying, “I love you.”
Some of the nicknames are ones you have probably heard many times before – “lovey-dovey,” “sweetie-pie,” “sugar,” “snookie-poo,” “honey,” “darling,” “sweetness,” “sweetpea,” “baby girl,” “lover boy,” “sunshine,” “sugarplum,” “baby-doll,” “hey, handsome,” “hey, beautiful,” and so forth.
Some of the nicknames are unusual and funny. Names like “Butch” in reference to a very petite wife seem unusual, but to her husband, it is an endearing term. “Snookems,” in reference to a very manly-man does not compute with most people, but to his wife, the term is an expression of love and affection. And the list goes on.
Over the years, the funniest “affectionate” nickname we ever heard was from the wife who lovingly referred to her husband as, “turkey-fart.” It is not important to understand the origin of “turkey-fart.” What is important is that the name has special meaning to the husband and wife team that coined it. You see, love has a private code. People in love understand! Nicknames are a private code for saying, “I Love You.”
