Nothing to do with cycling. My partner uses diminutives Jeannie (not my real name at all), or Dearie or Poopie. Not sure HOW the last one came about. But we do use nicknames on each other while cycling with one another..it makes a great distinctive signal above other people talking around us nearby.
Anyway....I struck upon a great one, one day while I was cycling with him. His real name which is German, Hans-Jurgen. ("J" is pronounced as a "Y" in German). So nickname for him is: Honey-Jurgen. Or Honey-Jurgen-Bear. ...since he genuinely buys and uses real honey to sweeten his yogurt every wk.
My real name in Chinese, is seldom used even by my own family. But when used, it sounds like an endearment/nickname to me. My Chinese real name is translation of: "Precious" or "Highly Treasured".
