My girlfriend, who a lot of people she hangs around calls her Kat although her name is Tanna, is fine with other men calling her Kitty, or Kittycakes on a constant basis. I don't mind the name Kat, but as for the other two really don't like that at all and it makes me uncomfortable to be honest.

 

Thoughts? Should she have them stop? Do you think there's anything wrong with other guys calling her Kitty or Kittycakes?

Why does it make you uncomfortable? Nothing wrong with those nicknames.

How would you feel if other women called your BF Honey, or Baby?

 

She has no business letting other guys use cutsie relationship names for her.

kitty and kittycakes are not the equivalent to 'honey' or 'baby'. I have a friend called kitty, that's what everybody calls her... I don't see what's wrong with being called kitty or kittycakes.

That's how I feel about it. I think certain nicknames should be exclusive between bf and gf

I bet her girlfriends use those nicknames for her too.

They do and I don't have a problem with it. I'd just prefer that her guy friends called her Tanna or Kat, not those other names as those are names that seem to be "cutsie relationship names"

Okay, well I don't see how they're cutsie relationship names seeing as her girlfriends call her that too. It's obviously an issue though and you don't like it so just tell her that you want to be the only man who can address her using those names.

Are you bothered because kitty can imply vagina?

 

If her friends all use that nickname and it existed before your relationship with her, I don't think you have much of a leg to stand on here. They aren't relationship nicknames, they are just nicknames.

 

I'm not saying you shouldn't discuss it with her, just think about how it will play out if she feels forced to get rid of a nickname people have called her for years.

It's none of your business what other people call her. If she doesn't mind, she doesn't mind. Deal or dump her.

Agree with the posters who don't think there is anything wrong with those nicknames, especially since those are nicknames all her friends call her.

 

I also don't know what you expect her to do about it, as she can't control other people's actions.

You'd do better to just admit you don't like her having guy friends.

 

If everyone calls her the same nickname - guy or girl - then its you making the distinction of which bothers you. Its the guys; you don't like her having guy friends no matter what they call her.

Kitty is far enough from her real name that it's weird to have that particular nickname, especially since it can be a sexual reference. So in actuality it's MUCH stronger than honey or baby.

 

Where did the nickname originate?

 

Okay, well I don't see how they're cutsie relationship names seeing as her girlfriends call her that too. It's obviously an issue though and you don't like it so just tell her that you want to be the only man who can address her using those names.

 

Why does it matter if her GF's use the term too? The guys use it which is creepy.

 

I find kittycakes wildly inappropriate for the following reason. Kitty is very often a reference to genitals, and smashing cakes is a reference to sex. Most people should get that.

 

Additionally, this is the crazy ho-bag that dumped him because her roomie claims he sent her a heart msg on facebook.
