it's not a pet name so much as a nickname
But every since I was my Dad has called me Buckets
Usually "Buckets of Wonderful" "Buckets of Grace" "Buckets of Awesome" "Buckets of Pretty"
the list is actually endless and has even included such things as "Buckets of Fish Guts"
It is shortened by everyone else including my Mom to simply Buckets
only my one Grandmother calls me by my name
I have only heard my Dad say my name once
it was on the day he baptized me (he is a Presbyterian minister)
It is to the point that I won't so much as look up if my real name is used
teachers everyone just calls me Buckets
As to a pet name
I guess as my rambling points out I wouldn't mind
yep I just said a lot to say very little

Note to self: make sure to occasionally call servantstrike princess.
I grew up being annoyed by pet names. I always thought I'd never use one or or accept one being used on me in the context of a romantic relationship. After about 10 months into my relationship, however, three pet names have managed to sneak their way into our conversations. I don't care to share them, but they are appropriate, endearing, not childish, and very personal to us. Two of them are Chinese and they make me melt pretty much every time I hear them.
There are still some pet names that make me cringe whenever I hear them being used (pumpkin, cupcake, sweetiepie.. why do people enjoy being labeled as edible treats?).. but it's one of those things that I have no right to really fuss over. To each their own.

Frankly, I enjoy endearing pet names, and I've been called stuff like,
"my Differential,"
"Infinite Integral,"
"Angel,"
"my Riemann Sum,"
"Sugar Stuff," "
Rabbit,"
"my Turtle Dove,"
"Love,"
"Honey Bun," and other 50's geeky stuff as well.
"I am serious, and don't call me "Shirley."

But I'm a sappy hopeless romantic... it doesn't take much to make me feel special
