That's the last thing I'll do on this earth, call by hubby baba supo or brother sule? over my dead body, even if he is twenty years my senior . The respect will always be there for him, no matter what name I choose to call him. Actually, I have several pet names for my hubby , bedroom own is different, telephone own is another one and also another and special one for public.

By the time you start callg your man brother or baba sule, that means the cordiality that's suppose to be there will be reduced.

So, call him by his name or give him nice and personal pet names ^{not all these common ones} and enjoy the bliss.

I would like to hear the bedroom and telephone names. One could learn something from them

I don't see why people are fussing about this name thing. Why does society have to dictate what a wife should call her husband? If she wants to call him by his name then so be it. If she wants to call him romantic pet names, then so be it. Is it by force? Na wa for SOME Nigerian marraiges! It seems like it is slavery, with the husband as the slave master and the wife as the slave. No wonder Nigeria is still a mess even though we have been blessed with so many resources. It is this backward mentality that is killing us all in the name of culture! I weak.

Dumb Thread

I call my husband his name because i am quite comforatble with it and his name is so sweet and special that i'm just happy calling it and of course its so unique (havent heard any other person called by it, may be somewhere sha)

I can't stand 'Honey'. Its a horrible pet name. Its too disgusting , it should be banned!

@Topic.
It all depends on each persons cultural backgrounds. And by-the-way, the Man deserves some little courtesy at least.

thank god this is 2012, i bet this kinda questions can never come up again

How old is this poster??

lwtmb!!! call him brother or uncle na! chi mo

Some men are just plain stewpid. The idiot wanting his wife to call him Baba what ever will be following some 19 yr old girl that will be calling him by name. BASTARD OSHI! Forgive my ranting, I just hate it when ppl act so darned daft.

See as all the ladies just dey provoke..

@OP: Calling your woman Mama sososo and she calling you Papa sososo is just too archaic. There is nothing wrong in she calling you by your name. She is your wife, not your servant.

Total disrespectful. There is no love when Wife call their husband names. Respect is reciprocal.

I use term of endearments and my husband's birth name when I call him. He is not God.

McDoe:
What is your opinion? Should wives call their hussies by their names considering our African background? I think calling the name just like that smacks of disrespect.

seconded,i cant even call my wife name nt to talk of her calling me name.it brings disrespect and this is one problem i have with the educated ladies today
