My Rov zt’l, who was already a Rov in prewar Europe, when he needed his wife’s attention would call out to her with “Herr Nur!” (“Listen!”). That was the common way to call your wife in Yiddish.

Nowadays, many of the youth have lost our Yiddishe Tznius and will even call their wife in public by her first name.
