family nickname
Household term endearment
A family nickname is a name used within a family that differs from someone's given name—often a childhood diminutive, inside joke, or term of endearment that persists into adulthood.
These names typically stay within the household: Only my mother still calls me Binky.
Family nicknames may also refer to names for the family unit itself, especially humorous or self-deprecating ones: We call ourselves the Chaos Crew.
