I'd survived over 5 years of marriage without a nickname. We'd say 'babe' and the usual stuff, but no real nickname.
A few people I've known over the years have been given a nickname by their other half. One of the lads was called 'Elmo' - never really got to the bottom of that one.
Anyway, how would you feel if your wife started calling you 'Makka Pakka' of CBeebies fame? For those who aren't aware, Makka Pakka is a monster-like creature who runs about the 'night garden' using a bicycle as a zimmer frame and washing the faces of others with a sponge.
Asking for a friend, of course.
