I like hearing and using babe but I'm with you on baby. It just doesn't feel right.

I just look on it as idleness, I have a name, so I want someone to use it. If a man calls every woman darling or dear etc he is not going to get muddled up is he (god, I am such a cynic lol)

I like babe or baby (I don't mind them at all).
I think hearing "honey", "dear" or "sweetie" would make me feel like I was 50 yrs old and should be wearing an apron and baking a bundt cake in the kitchen.
Maybe it's a generational thing (or a marriage thing).
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

It may be a regional/country thing, too....and maybe a bit of age also. Now, that said...how does being called "Mz. Rachel" or "Miss Ashleigh" sound. I'm old as dirt...one of God's playmates, in fact...and I would likely use the Mz./Ms. or Miss when first addressing you. "Honey" will occasionally slip out, but only in a really friendly/playful situation and I kinda/sorta knew you. I guess "Babe/Baby" lost its appeal to me from all the fuel desk clerks using it...without really any friendly meaning in it....when I was a commercial truck driver.
So...bye BABY SPRITE...and if you happen to see them, give that BABY DOLL and MISS SUGAH CAT a big ole hug from me. (and we didn't even talk about "Sugar/Sugah")

I admit, I'm not the usual kind of lass. But something about the use of the word "Baby" when given to a grown woman or a man makes me want to throw up. There's something very Wrong about it in my head, I can't separate it from... well, a baby. "Babe" is marginally better, but still not great. I most often hear it when used to denote one's sexual partner, and it really grosses me out. Sorry.
I have nothing wrong with the use of nicknames, or things like lass, and lad, bird, mate, etc. But baby? Bleurgh.![]()
Do you use the term baby/babe, and if so, why? Many thanks in advance to any who respond and help me to understand.

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

Don't believe everything that you read.

this is a little strange for me. i'm from the south and am used to strangers addressing me with a term of endearment. i get called sug, honey, or sweetheart by a random person on a regular basis and don't even bat an eye. that being said, i'm not comfortable with men i'm not in a relationship with referring to me as baby. this is a term that i reserve for men that i'm intimately involved with.
