We called my daughter 'Sweetie' so much when she was young, when she was 2, she thought it was her name, and refused to answer to her real one.
Mostly I call her 'kiddo' or 'hon', she's 16 now.
My son gets called 'dude', 'buddy', or variations of his name.
I would like to say nicknames don't hurt a kid, but my little brother was subject to some that really aggrevated him as a kid & it still bothers him.
I never had any nicknames. In a way I feel left out.
