Daddy called me Sugah when I was young. He persists in calling me Janet though I've answered to, and only used, Jan for 50 years, even changed it legally 12 years ago.
Mother still often calls me RoColClayt...JAN! Goes through all the siblinds names before she gets to mine. I was glad to get to first grade and find my name was actually short enough to learn to write easily!
My daughter born and raised in Alabama calls me Mutti; the other daughter, born and raised in Germany, calls me Mom.....go figure.
My ex always called me a generic-sounding Honey. I often wondered if he even remembered my real name.
