To other cultures, this may be a bad way of citing a person but to the English, it is a form of christening when it comes to tagged names.

Among the tagged names that people may call others include dear, dearie, chuck, me duck and so on. For people who are not used to this, they may think that they are making fun of them but when they are actually not.
