I would love to hear stories about how you came up with whatever unique name you call your SO. Nothing graphic and don’t doxx yourself, I just think some nice stories like that would be fun for everyone in these ridiculous times.

Draakje, which is Dutch for tiny dragon. Because she is cute and feisty. And can, when in dire straits, kick open a sturdy locked door.

Thank you for trying! I didn’t mean to give you homework. I’m just very interested in other languages. I think your pet name is very sweet, thanks for sharing!

You just made me remember how I called her “little star” for years, after the Beau Taplin poem..

No clue why I stopped. I’m going to start back up, and see what she thinks :)
