I always hated generic pet names (I thought they infantalized her, too), but one day she insisted we choose pet names.
I first suggested "Slapshot" because her dad owns a hockey team. I would call her "Slappy" for short. She shot that one down.
Next, I suggested "Elvira, Mistress of the Night" (her name is not Elvira). She shot that one down too.
Getting absurd at this point, I said "We should have a pet name for our whole relationship. We could call it Wingding. You would be Wingy and I would be Dingy."
She said "Stop being dumb" and hit me. But to this day, she is Wingy and I am Dingy, to the near-exclusion of our real names.
