I have never been one for those kind of terms AT ALL. Told my husband up front never to call me by anything like that "or else". My parents were never into that & neither were my grandparents on either side. As I remember, my gramps had a cute term for my Mother, but that was about where it stopped.

As a child, I never wanted my parents to treat me as a child & for some reason, I felt that being called by something like that was childish. As I grew older, I felt that those names didn't respect me for who I was so I never let guys call me by anything expcept my name.

Working as an aerospace engineer, those kind of terms seemed very unprofessional. being that i was about the only female in a huge group of guys, I wasn't about to allow myself to be caled by anything that seemed unprofessional since I expected to be treated as one of the guys. No one ever tried either.

After I got married, we have nick names that we use......sis, bro, ner, ger.....but that is about it. I guess because I don't like those terms being used on me, I never used them myself either......they just never seemed right.

But this is just me......usually keeping my distance from other people.
