What They Used to Call You and What They Call You Now [Marvel]

Tony

He calls you kid or kiddo. Always has, and it's gender neutral, so he doesn't really stop.

He used to call you sweetheart, but he feels like that may be a little too feminine, so he overcompensates with every more masculine nickname he can think of. He's called you tiger, sport, bud, buddy (when you're getting too sarcastic/sassy with him), boss (he uses this one sarcastically).

Bruce

He's always called you kid, or kiddo. He honesty kind of picked it up from Tony, since he feels like Tony interacts with kids better than he does—but the nickname just stuck.

He used to call you sweetheart, but now he calls you bud instead, because he thinks it suits you better.

Steve

He still calls you sweetheart—he's always called you that, and you'll always be "sweetheart" to him. He uses it interchangeably with "bud" now, and is slowly working on calling you that more. Especially because he did a bit more research, and realized that it may make you uncomfortable if he calls you sweetheart.

He'll probably ask you what your preference is at one point.

Loki

He used to call you princess, but now he just calls you little prince. Yes, always with the "little" in front of it—he is not quite ready to give up the title himself. That, and he will always see you as his kid, no matter what, and with that comes memories of you being younger—you your "little prince".

Stephen

Sometimes, he would call you sunshine/my sunshine. He was inspired by the lullaby "You Are My Sunshine". He was never really one for giving nicknames, so while he didn't call you that frequently, he would always do it with much affection.

He also called you sweetheart, and called you that a little more frequently (the sunshine thing was a bit personal to him). It stick around as you got older, but he doesn't know if it would make you uncomfortable now that you go by more masculine/neutral terms. He also doesn't know if it'd be awkward to bring it up, so he just calls you by the name you prefer.

Shang Chi

He used to call you sunshine, and sweetheart, and he's always called you "dude", just becasue he thought it was funny.

He didn't really get any nicknames growing up from his dad, and when he first talked to Katy about it, she told him about the nicknames she was given, and that the people around her had always given their kids. She thought that some of them were "unrealistic expectations", and because she grew up as an Asian American, she mostly heard Chinese nicknames. So Shang Chi only gave you American nicknames, with a few that were Chinese.

After you came out, though, he started calling you "xiǎo xù", which means sunrise or "qí qi", means precious or outstanding. Since both are usually used for boys, and he felt like it was a good way to show his support (if you want to be referred to masculinely).

Scott Lang

He used to call you pumpkin. He had no idea if you wanted him to use another nickname because you associated those with when you were presenting as female or something, and he thought he'd be weird if he brought it up. So now he just calls you pumpkin pie.

When you ask why he changed your nickname, he just said he thought it sounded cooler.

A/n: I did the research I could for Shang Chi, if anyone is Chinese, or Asian American (or is just very educated on the topic), and I got any of the translations wrong, or there's something else you think he'd use, please let me know. I would genuinely be interested, and I would like to fix it if I got something wrong :)
