I guess that's why I'm a stickler for names. Yeah, me too. I love names, I think there's too many facets in people for them to be addressed under just one name.
I forgot to add, most of it has to do with who says it. If some random guy called me baby, I'd want to go Scully on him. But my mother calls me "child", a word that sounds condescending at face value, but I know her and what she means, so it's endearing.
