Couples having nicknames for each other is an aspect of relationships that you can either find endearing or super irritating. Sure, a lot of people have nicknames that are based on their real first names (hello, Annies, Lizzies, Bobbies, and Hanks). Your nicknames for your significant other, on the other hand, are special. These are used to express love for the other person rather than as a way to shorten their name. Those nicknames have a way of making your lover feel unique, no matter how awkward they are. It’s also a smart way to get out of trouble or calm down if you’ve ruffled your boo’s feathers. Nicknames are one-of-a-kind, intimate, and reserved for a select few, so if you have one for your partner, you’ve reached sweetheart territory. (Congratulations!) The nicknames you give your girlfriend or boyfriend are almost always exclusive to the person you’re with at the time. So, if your previous girlfriend’s nickname was “Schmoopie,” you’ll most likely adopt a new one. However, if you’re looking for a nickname for your girlfriend, here are a few ideas.

One More Note About Nicknames
Nicknames usually have to be meaningful. You will certainly fall into the “babe” and “honey” categories. That’s all right. The best nicknames, on the other hand, will always have a unique sense that only the two of you will understand. Maybe you nicknamed her “bunny” because she wiggles her nose or has a lot of sex. Maybe she’s a mini-Alex Trebek, which is why you gave her the name JEOPARDY! It may not seem romantic on the surface, but she will value your recognition of her intellect. If she’s a ginger who’s obsessed with Anne of Green Gables? You may also be able to refer to her as “Carrots.” What does she excel at? What is it that she is so fixated on? What do you want to do as a couple? Nicknames can be nothing more than sweet pet names with no real significance. However, if you can personalize it, it would mean much more to her… and to you.
