Yes, and he called her Bessie. Neither of them liked each other's first names. Almanzo's brother Royal called him "Mannie," but Laura misheard that and called him Manly. He called her Bessie, a nickname for her middle name, Elizabeth.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's husband was named Almanzo. His family often called him "Manzo" or "Manny". She liked neither of those nicknames and called him "Manly".
