Hun, Hon, or Honey

It is one of the most feared names in history. But is it a fair representation?


Romans feared his ravaging and devoted tremendous military resources to stopping him. His mere name could cause shivers...yet today, it is an endearing term for many couples.

"Attila, Hun, could you bring me back some fashions from Rome?"

That is the little know fact of how it started. Had she only said, "Attila, sugar, would you bring me back some Roman fashions?" he would be known as Attila the Sugar.

But what if he had been a farmer? Known for some particular plowing or location...yes, a location. Then he would have sounded Southern. "Bring me back some Roman fashion, Attila field". (She liked to call him field because he was always laying in it, probably drunk. And if you sound out his name...'ah-tea-ah da field" then you get the joke. It still isn't funny, but at least you get it).

Now, some people get tired of the repetitive nicknames lovers have for one another. After all, how many people are "babe", "Sweety", "Sugar", "Snuffleupagus"? It is so bad that if you are in a crowded location and someone says "Hey Snuffleupagus" and about 57% of the heads turn to see if they are being referenced.

But what if we just switched things up? Instead of going by his last moniker, we can go by his first.

"Ah, Attila, have I told you lately how much I love you?"

Yes, this is a trend I expect to sweep the nation. Starting....
