I call everyone 'Darling' because I can't remember their names.

Sweetheart,' 'darling,' 'luv.' I like these words; they fit me like a comfortable old pullover. I remember them from childhood; that's what innocent little boys were called by cheerful aunties back then, to make them feel welcome and secure in the world.

I believe it's important that we use names of endearment that reflect a special feeling for the individual involved.

At my age the only problem is with remembering names. When I call everyone darling, it has damn all to do with passionately adoring them, but I know I'm safe calling them that. Although, of course, I adore them too.

Introductions are always weird for me because my name is Hari and it's constantly mispronounced . 'Hurry', 'Hairy' - there are different ways to screw it up, and it leads to these awkward conversations.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

I heard someone say the other day that they thought it was sexier to call someone their fiance instead of their husband or wife.

Sometimes a nickname is used instead of the real name. But a nickname may offend either the one named or the parents who gave the name.

I went for an outrageous form of expressing myself. It seemed to be a way that I could make my name and show that I was somebody.
