Is it appropriate for co-workers to use the nicknames "Dirty Boy" and "Dirty Girl" for each other?


I recently found a personal e-mail between my husband and a female co-worker.  Although the content of the e-mail was not suggestive at all, it was addressed to "Dirty Girl" and signed from "Dirty"  The response back from her also used the same "nicknames"  My husband doesn't remember how the names were started, and thinks I'm being ridiculous for being upset.  I'm asking all of you to decide if it is appropriate for co-workers to use those types of nicknames for each other.  Thanks!!

It's an unnecessary risk for a couple of reasons IMO.

I guess it depands on what kind of office and job it is, but joking around while working makes it a lot easier to get through the day

if i was him i wouldn't do it. b/c if for some reason they end up not liking each other b/c of work projects or competitiveness or whatever... she just might scream sexual harrassment. that is career suicide. imo. i wouldn't make it obvious by having him talk to her about it, just have him make sure HE doesn't do it anymore. Ask him this...if his boss or his boss's boss saw the email would he be embarrassed? it's really not professional.
