Nicknames
I realized, after almost two years of blogging, I badly need a blogname for my husband.
This is a difficult step because I'm allergic to the commonly-used internet acronyms. PAP, POC, WOC, DH, DD, ugh, ugh, ugh.
My dad is now Ojiichan, of course. My mother is Nana. Sunny is Sunny and I'm Atlasien. My husband is... I'm coming up with a blank. I'd like something simple, unpretentious, reminiscent but with no clue as to his real identity. Mildly humorous would be OK, but nothing vaguely insulting, such as Kielbasa.

I had the same problem with my husband. I finally just asked him to pick out a name -- and that is why he is Roland.
It's hard to come up with something when we don't really have a sense of his persona. You're left with things like: TMIM (the man I married) or TG (that guy). Maybe just a letter?
I just call him my fella and leave it at that...
My husband told me he wanted to be called "El Güero" here.
When we were in Mexico a vendor yelled "güero" at him on the street, he asked me what they'd said, and I translated: "Hey whitey, buy my sandwiches". He likes the word.
I don't like it, mainly because a blogname is supposed to be EASIER to type, and El Güero is two words.
I've decided I'm going to call him "Guy" instead, which is nice and short.
