Master prefers to be called Master, He doesn't like Sir. He's quite happy for other sub types to call Him by His given name or if they don't feel comfortable with that, to call Him Master A--- . I only call Him by His given name when I talk about Him to vanillas, or when W/we are in vanilla company, though more usually I will get around it by calling Him Love, Hon etc. The only pet name I shouldn't use for Him is "pet" LOL as that's considered subby and is His pet name for me. He calls me pet more often than He calls me violet, even though that's His chosen name for me. Of course, I have called Him God at certain times, for which His response is a wicked grin and "you rang?" or "yes My child?" I do tease at times and call Him "Dadda" when W/we are being silly ... usually at the supermarket LOL! Shopping brings out the worst in U/us! Given that I am 15 years older than Him ... I like to be called Ma'am by subs who are "interviewing", until they get close enough to be undergoing some basic training, at which time I will allow them to call Me Mistress. I am also quite partial to My Lady but haven't had one lean that way yet. One sub called Me Mistress Mommy and I liked that. I baulk a bit at Goddess LOL! The only one I don't like is "Miss" ... as an ex schoolteacher ... no! I've had that shouted at Me too many times. Other subs who are friends can call Me Jay, Ma'am Jay, whichever works for them. I'm not overly happy with other subs or Dom/mes calling me violet, unless they are seeing me in a particularly subby mode (at a play party with Master that might be OK). I tend to relate to other people through My Domme persona so Jay is more appropriate. My given name is now pretty much reserved for My academic work world and My mother, so I don't tend to use that with bdsm folks. I am pissed off that yahoo seems to have used a form of it as a precursor to My email addy, so some use that and I really don't like it so I correct that sharpish! Basically, it amounts to whatever suits the couple in question ... I would agree that rushing into calling someone Master or Mistress is probably not a good idea, names are powerful. Where in doubt, Sir or Ma'am is probably a safeish default and they will correct you if they don't like it! Maam Jay aka violet[A] (I gave up on the apostrophe in Ma'am as it won't work for some email addys and IDs!)
