25 Cute Nicknames To Call Your Lover

Call your boyfriend with cute nicknames

Ever heard lovers calling each other 'butterball', 'my queen', 'honey bun' and other such cute nicknames? These names show the love and warmth you feel for your partner and they are practically a form of a verbal cuddle that you would give to your love. Sometimes, lovers form nicknames after shortening the last names and some other times they have some personal joke that both of you have shared. Sometimes, lovers use nicknames that feel right at the moment, but soon people outgrow them. The nickname, though, remains as a matter of habit. Calling your partner with cute nicknames has been done since ages. It is a way of showing your romantic feelings to the person you love. Your partner too wants to be pampered and feels secure in the relationship. Nicknames can be affectionate, sensual and funny, but most of them are cute. Lovers use all sorts of nicknames for their partners and that in itself is cute! It sure adds a lot of spice to the game of love. While naming your boyfriend, make sure that the names you give him should match his personality. For example, you cannot call your manly and rugged looking man 'chocolaty'. You can if you must, but there is a better name to suit the personality. Similarly, calling your tall and thin boyfriend 'cuddly muddly' does not have a good ring to it. Cute nicknames when spoken in public should make the people go 'wow' and not shake their heads in amusement. There are some nicknames that have become too common. Names like 'baby', 'sweetheart' are used by everyone and though they perform their purpose well, they have become too common over a period of time. Perhaps, you would prefer to give a unique and unusual nickname to your lover, a name that only both of you can relate to and use?

The nicknames mentioned above are purely used for fun and affection. Many times, they might mean nothing in particular and are often used impromptu. If your boyfriend is uncomfortable with the nicknames, then perhaps you could choose another one from the list above. Using nicknames in a relationship shows your comfort and affection for each other. No one would address a casual acquaintance with a nickname. They reveal a person's persona and also let the person know what you feel about him. Using nicknames in public just shows the world that both of you are hooked and booked, and very much in love. There are some sexy nicknames lovers give each other, but these cannot be used in public. However, cute nicknames can be used in front of anyone without thinking twice. I knew someone who used to call his girlfriend 'Sugar Bum'. This is hardly an appropriate nickname to be used in public and the girlfriend used to get quite embarrassed with such a name. But with cute nicknames, one need not worry at all. These can be used anywhere, anytime! It also makes your relationship more personal and intimate. These are names you use for your lover alone and hence they have a certain emotion as well as deeper meaning to it. You have chosen a particular nickname for your boyfriend after much thought and you both get very attached to it. You can also use your personal nickname as a codeword between you two. It speaks volumes about the bond you share with each other. A text message saying ' Honey bunny' might not mean anything if read by someone else, but it means the world to your lover. That’s a great secret too! There is a whole lot of meaning in nicknames than that which meets the eye. Sometimes, a person feels the urge and the desire to express their love to the other person. Nicknames are sweet verbal caresses, which speak volumes about your emotions. Sometimes, merely saying 'I love you' just doesn't feel enough and you feel the need to add on 'my munchkin' or 'my king' to complete expression of your love. So, make sure your cute nickname stays with you forever, right from the moment you first knew each other to the phase when you realized about your sexual chemistry to the moment today, when you know that you both can't live without each other. If your nickname stays with you for all these stages of your love life, then it sure becomes your favorite word and expression. At times, using just the nickname could equate to saying 'I love you' to each other! Go ahead and choose the most appropriate nickname for your boyfriend from the list above. Fall in love and love it more!
