Should She Really Drop Her Nickname

It was time for another group therapy session to hopefully help out a couple to find should she really drop her nickname? It popped up on The Mike & Carla Morning Show this morning and we were looking for answers! A young lady had emailed the morning show stating that her boyfriend wanted her to drop her nickname...given to her by her ex!

Now this was an ex from High School and years ago. In her circle of friends, it's the name they used for this young lady and in fact, she liked the name. Coincidently, so did the current boyfriend, until he found out who gave it to her.

After finding out the story behind the nickname, the boyfriend asked her to drop it...all of a sudden he didn't care for it! So, the question this morning was should she oblige or should he just chill? Why was he so jealous? Was this a sign of things to come?

Listeners starting texting in, calling in and there seem to be a theme...drop the boyfriend! One listener said that as long as the nickname wasn't anything to do with "sex", it was all good! The boyfriend should grow up and just let it go.

Others thought it was a certain "red" flag of things to come...and she should RUN! Really? It's a "red" flag? They couldn't talk it out? More and more listeners thought it was fishy that he liked the nickname and went with it until he found out who gave it to her. With that said, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

You have to listen to the segment from this morning and make your own decision. Some listeners called in with their own similar stories...all though it wasn't a bout a nickname. A frame, a book or even a song he or she shared with an ex, but in the end, we all grew up and moved on. See what you would do...and enjoy!

Everyone has a nickname, or a "pet name" for their significant other. Right, pookie?

Do you have a cute little nickname for your significant other? Well, here ya go, the nicknames couples in Nevada and other states use the most. Someone did a very deep dive, and analyzed tweets from all 50 states to find the top "pet name" couples in each state use more than other states.

Psychologists say that using nicknames in a relationship helps foster trust and intimacy. But,  it definitely depends on the tone you use.

Shorty, or shawty, is the top slang term of endearment in eight states. It’s a hip-hop word that has come to describe a sexually attractive woman. Although the level of respect depends on the context it’s used in. Shorty’s meaning has evolved since the word debuted in Too $hort’s “Everytime” (1985), and old-school hip-hop fans may use it to refer to a man or kid.

Most nicknames are more common, like "sweetie" and "cutie."  South Dakota likes the term "dearest," and people in Alabama are calling each other "sweet cakes." But in Nevada, well - we seem to like the word "hunk!"

You can change your own name, but you can't change that cute nickname you have for your significant other. Those terms of endearment evolve as your relationship evolves -  and your defenses fall, and your hormones rise. Though I wonder if there are people who have used the same nickname for previous partners - just because that's the pet name THEY like to use.

Here are the top nicknames in the US. This doesn't include the most common ones, like "babe" and "honey."  Still, a lot of the ones on the list are pretty common, until you get to the end of the list. Some interesting, and I think maybe even a little regional, nicknames.

Whatever your favorite nickname is - enjoy, cupcake!

Nine states use it more than average.  (Arizona, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin)

Eight states really like this one: Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia

The five states that use it the most are Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. (Honestly - it's  kinda gross. But you go ahead, West Virginia!)

Five states:  Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

(Hey - you try to find a Bae. So here's a Bay)

Four states:  Alaska, Idaho, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.

Four states love this old favorite:  Hawaii, Maine, Mississippi, and New Mexico.

Four states don't cae about Wifey, I guess:  Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, and Vermont.

Three states said "fine, hubby, now it's our turn!:  California, Colorado, and Rhode Island.

This one is most popular in Arkansas and Kansas.

People in New York and Montana use it the most.  I don't really think of Montana as a sugar daddy state, but sure. Oh - and eww.

These are the most unique nicknames that only had ONE state each:  Nevada likes the word "hunk," women in Wyoming are saying "my boy," calling your husband or wife "dearest" is big in South Dakota, and Alabama likes the term "sweet cakes!"
