Pet Names

     Riddler: Eddie likes to use pet names that refer to pieces of literature or mythology, whatever he's currently obsessing over (Greek mythology being a personal fav of his). His Sphinx, his Angel, his little enigma. It's nearly impossible to not feel insecure with this man singing your praises with every word.

Eddie or Eddie-Baby. You'll have him as putty in your hands in a matter of seconds. You can use almost any name under the sun, he won't mind, though you find the first two to be really affective against him. Edward does appreciate a little creativity every now and again.


     Scarecrow: As mentioned before, Jonathan is unexperienced in the area of romance and therefore takes things slow and steady. It takes him a while to start using any pet names and he usually thinks about it before using any of them. He leans heavily towards Darling. It just feels right to him. Outside of that, he calls you Night Terror when you two work together. It's basically your criminal alias at this point as all his henchmen call you that now.

No matter what pet name you use on Jonathan, it's bound to make him at least the smallest bit a flustered mess, at least at the start. It takes him ages to get used to someone showing him affection, not that he would ever turn it away. Man is secretly craving every ounce of it from you. He does warm up to your pet names and smiles warmly at each one. You can still catch him by surprise with a new one, however.


     Mad Hatter: Jervis has hundreds of nicknames saved up for you. Dear is an obvious one, he even referred to you as such before you two started dating. Since then, he's started to use more nicknames such as Honey Bunny or Beloved. Anything even slightly romantic has probably fallen from his mouth at some point. He also tries to come up with names based around his favorite piece of media, trying to figure out which character you remind him of the most. If you have your own media obsession and a character you relate to, he may call you that as a nickname if it doesn't bother you.

Jervis accepts any name you give him with a bright smile. Doesn't matter how goofy, basic, or mushy the name is, he's here for it 100%! The first time you used a pet name on him, which was most likely "Dear" as he so often used for you, his heart skipped a beat, face heating up instantly. Jervis just had to run over and hug you.


     Penguin: Due to Oswald's love of anything avian, he's quite fond of referring to you as his Dove. It's simple and romantic in his eyes. Not to mention it fits you perfectly! On the rare occurrence that he calls you anything else, it's usually something like "my love", "my treasure", or "sweetheart". He does truly believe he's lucky to have you be his and makes sure to show it through his actions and words.

You tend to call him "love" a lot, or simply refer to him as Oz or Ozzie. Keeping things simple but affectionate (you're the only one who can shorten his name like that. He sees it as disrespectful from anyone else). If you choose to expand this list, however, he's not complaining. He leans more towards classic pet names.


     Two-Face: When it comes to Two Face, it really depends on which side is talking to you. Both of them are pretty generic in their approach, though Harvey tends to sway towards softer names like Baby/Babe or even Darling sometimes. Harv prefers to call you Doll or Doll face. They also often refer to you as Beautiful/Handsome or any other pet name that compliments your appearance. And don't even try arguing that you aren't attractive in that way because they're both prepared to fight tooth and nail about how they're right.

Considering that you're dating two different personalities, it's usually best to refer to them by name. It takes a while to find anything that sticks considering their different tastes. You tend to use the same names that Harvey assigns to you along with Handsome; it helps with Harvey's insecurities about his scars and Harv is more than happy to receive any compliment from you.


     Harley Quinn: Harley has a fascination with sweet-based nicknames. Anything that sounds mushy and cutesy has definitely been thrown your way at least once. She also loves to change up the names every once in a while, so it's always a surprise. The most common ones you can pick out include Sweetie, Pookie, Honey Bun, Smookums, and Toots. And those are just a handful of them! She also often calls you nicknames based around your appearance or a play on your name.

As for what you call her, she could care less to be honest. As long as it isn't hateful, call her anything. Though she is sure to melt if you do return her pet names with equally mushy and overly romantic names for her.


     Poison Ivy: A lot of plant-based nicknames. I don't know what you expected. She always had a knack for calling you "Bud", but now that's been upgraded to Rosebud. Every now and then she does mix things up by throwing in the occasional Pumpkin or Buttercup. If you have a favorite flower, she also calls you that.

Pamela has no preference for what you call her. As long as she knows it refers to her, she's fine. Honestly, go wild with this power! Come up with any name under the sun, though she favors ones that poke towards her plant-loving nature, even if they are more of joke nicknames. She loves when you get creative and some of the names you come up with never fail to make her laugh.
