Best Answer

Gollum did not call himself precious. Precious referred to his ring, his precioussssss.

In The Hobbit book, his nickname is Gollum because he makes "horrible swallowing noise in his throat, though he is always called himself 'my precious'." The movies do not exactly follow Tolkien's version.

How does Gollum lose The Ring - Bilbo stumbles upon it but if it was so precious why did Gollum not have it with him or if he was hiding it- why was he hiding it?

I believe Gollum was wearing The Ring, using it to catch a stray goblin off its guard for something other than fish to eat and The Ring slipped off his finger without him realizing it. In Gollum's own words, "How did we lose it, my precious? Yes, that's it. When we came this way last, when we twisted that nassty young squeaker. That's it. Curse it! It slipped from us, after all these ages and ages! It's gone, gollum." It is a magical ring, remember, with almost a mind of its own.


Why did Gollum call himself love?

Gollum and Smeagol are the same character. Gollum did say "My love" to Sméagol in the movies (I can't remember if he said that in the books) and considering his split-personality, perhaps it is not so surprising. It is not a term of endearment, but an eccentricity, if you will.
