86 Sweet Nicknames For Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Or Spouses

Nicknames come in all shapes and forms, but the pet names that you call the love of your life should always be unique. These nicknames may come into play almost immediately once you start dating, and your actual name is soon forgotten. In fact, many consider it to be a clear indicator that you are in some kind of trouble when your significant other calls you by your first name instead of the pet name they have given you. If you find yourself in the doghouse and need some sweet nickname inspiration, we've got you covered with these favorite nicknames for significant others.

Show Them How Well You Know Them

Much like an inside joke or a favorite memory, a pet name is one of the many ways that couples can honor and express their appreciation for a shared history together that only the two of them are intimately familiar with. And while cute pet names are often looked upon as too cheesy or lovey-dovey, there is no need to feel any shame in using them to express your affection for your partner.
