In thinking about it, and going back to something Rachel first made me cognizant of, people in intimate relationships rarely address each other by their first names. And since then I've noticed (at least in this house) that if I bother to address John at all, it's usually by a pet name rather than "John" unless I'm calling across the house. When I read this comment of yours, I realized that what I really see happening is Jack continuing to use 'Carter' as Sam's *name*, and it being 'Sam' which he uses as a pet name. In fact, thinking about it, I think that's how I've tended to use them in fics, too. I just think, given their history, that makes the most sense.
EDIT: And I just learned (by overhearing him 'practice') that my 9 year-old has Linus's part in the Christmas pageant at church tonight
I do think that "carter" will stay as a petname in their relationship, but i don't think Sam will like it in the beginning...I do think she will eventualy accept it...
and self pimping, I just remembered I did a sort of a fic on that a month ago...Always
Cags I do like it that you remembered Jack calling Sarah "baby" since I forgot that...but I do think that Sam and Jack's relationship is different than the one that Sarah and Jack had...thus in a way I can't see them calling each other that...sigpic

I agree with those who've said Sam likely actually really likes it when Jack calls her Sam (or Samantha - that's what Fantasy!Jack called her in Grace..), but I also think Jack quite possibly likes being able to call her 'Sam' now, too. Especially given I think his switching exclusively to 'Carter' was a type of barrier in the first place, using 'Sam' now would be a reminder that the barrier no longer exists.

Originally posted by JenniferJF View PostNope, we're agreeing. I meant they don't generally call each other by *any* name. When they *do*, some use petnames, some don't. I do think those who use petnames tend to use them more frequently than those who always use first names, though, cause sometimes the petname's more than simply a means of address.

I've never imagined them having them a detailed conversation about it. I know some fic has her insisting he call her Sam (in response to her calling him Jack), but I feel like he'd gradually switch over as they're together longer.

One last thing on the name stuff...
I think it depends if the Carter to Sam goes automatically, it could be like that, but it could also be that Sam gets annoyed and then says if he please doesn't call her Carter all the time. It reminds her too much of work or so...
but that's just my interpretation of the charactersigpic

To totally contradict what I said before, John and I actually did have a conversation about nicknames early in our relationship. It went something like:
"Why can't I call you Jack, everyone else does..."
"No."
"But it doesn't make any sense..."
"No."
"But..."
"I'll call you Jenny..."
That was sort of the end of that.
Still can't see them doing it, cause I doubt she really dislikes it when he calls her Carter. I just think, for both of them, initially there would have been a sort of thrill at his using 'Sam' or 'Samantha' which would cause him to use it more and more frequently until it would slowly become the more normal form of address.
