The answer

The wife should call her husband by the name or nickname he prefers to be called by, based on Al-Munawi's statement in Fayd al-Qadir that among the etiquettes of companionship is calling one's companion by the name most beloved to them, and the wife is a companion. It is advised to deal gently to understand the reason for the wife's refusal, as it might be a custom in her environment. The feelings of the other party must be considered, as the matter is simple and should not be a cause for a major dispute that allows room for Satan to sow discord between the spouses.
