Calling husband by name?

Oops....forgot to mention, my now-ex-then-gf...Mea culpa....Am single.

 

it depends on each individual and couples personal closeness to call by name.

 

I call my husband by name. My mil never liked it but I don't care.

I don't understand one thing,if husband is called athaan, husband's brother is also called athaan, sister's husband is also called athaan. How are we suppose to know which one is the husband?

 

Hi all of u
I call my husband with his name and sometimes I call him mummy(when anyone is not there) i don't know I feal free when iam with him,he takes care of me like my mom

 

isnt is husband's bro and sister's bro is called mama.
i will not like it if my co-sis and sis call my dh atthaan. its too much.
but personally, i dont think calling dh athan is appropriate nowadays. it's cute, but too .... (cant find the word, too personal? or too intimate? )

dovahkiin, sorry i assumed u're married because u actively reply on this forum.

 

In our side, those men are addressed as athaan. I find that word very romantic maybe because I have heard heroines calling their husband that way in old black and white movies.
Only mom's brother and dad's sister's husband is addressed as mama. Then again their sons are addressed as athaan.

 

When i got married, i used to call him "ennaga" me and my hubby felt uncomfortable but still i called him like that because we were in india. After moving here, i started calling him name which is more comfortable for both. But in front of my mil i dont call him by name(try to). mil got very angry and gave me a big lecture y i shouldn't call him by name. But now a days even in front of my mil i call him by name(not purposefully)but thats how practiced. I dont know what she thinks... so far my hubby is comfortable so iam not bothered.

 

I call my DH by his name. In my case, its my parents who insist that I should not call him by his name, but my in-laws don't mind it. I was friends with my now DH for more than a year, I can't even imagine calling him "enanga" as thats how all call their respective H's in our family.

 

Ours is an arranged marriage.My my marriage got fixed i was not so comfortable calling DH by him name so i used to put "garu" / ji after his name. there was a gap of 5 months for the wedding and we used to talk a lot over phone and skype, got close and started calling with pet names when no one is around and by his name when people are around. My MIL told me not to call him by his name as we have to give respect to our DH , but i never took it seriously. I moved to US and call him by whatever name i feel like calling. Some time i call him "babu", "balaji" also which are no way related to him and he loves me calling with all those names.
My ILs are around i dont say the "ra"/"da" word

 

I call my husband by name when we are out and about. But at home I call him honey and baby. There is nothing wrong with having nicknames for each other. It is an term of endearment.
