Nick and affectionate names are very popular in many families.
Endearing pet names are very common. Some guys call their
girl friends with cute names like Doll face, Baby doll, etc.,
while family people call their wives in a funny way, sweet heart,
handsome, charming, dear heart, Lovely, My dear, and some
Old Lady, Mami, etc. Parents would have named their children
after their some Goddess. After they get married, in their in-laws
House, names are changed to their tastes spoiling the originality
and sanctity.
