How To Choose Nicknames To Call Your Boyfriend

Monday, March 8, 2010 11:29

There are many different nicknames to call your boyfriend, if you want a
nickname for him. The better thing to consider might be whether or not he
wants a nickname. Some guys like nicknames, some guys don’t. And some of
the nicknames to call your boyfriend will appeal to certain guys, and
leave others feeling uncomfortable.

First of all, you shouldn’t feel pressured into even having a nickname for
your guy if one doesn’t sort of spring up naturally. Just because all of
your girlfriend’s have nicknames for their boyfriends, and talk about them
with those names, doesn’t mean you have to have one, too.

Even if they use the nicknames when talking to the guys, that doesn’t mean
that their relationship has something your relationship doesn’t. You can
have just as close and loving of a relationship as someone who uses
nicknames, even if you always call your boyfriend by his real name.

Some nicknames, in fact, might make you think the relationship must be
special because she uses a nickname, but it’s hardly a personal thing.
Some people always call their boyfriends honey, or sweetie, for instance.
Those aren’t really nicknames to call your boyfriend as much as they are
just terms of endearment, but they might be the only “nicknames” you’ll
ever hear.

The best nicknames for your boyfriend are those names that come from
within the relationship. Just because you think “pookie-butt” or
“snugglyuggums” sound cute and special, doesn’t mean you should decide
that one of those will your boyfriend’s nickname.

Most people who grow up with nicknames got them from something they did,
like someone who’s always late being called Pokey, or someone who loves
cars being called Wheels. Other nicknames come from a specific incident
and a term that simply stuck, like a boy who once carried a grasshopper
into the house in his pocket and scared his mother, being affectionately
called Bug by his family.

Nicknames usually have those special stories behind them. So the nicknames
to call your boyfriend will have more meaning for both of you if they sort
of happen naturally. If you just decide that a name is to be his nickname,
it might feel unnatural to use it, and he might not like it either.

Generic nicknames or terms of endearment can work very well, when there’s
no situational or specific nickname that seems to fit your boyfriend. Like
the honey or sweetie mentioned earlier, there is really no limit to the
types of names like that you can use. Dear, baby, sweetheart, my man, and
other terms can all be used.

Sometimes a couple seems to use one of those repeatedly and it becomes a
sort of nickname for each other. She might always call him babe or even
smile and call him stud, while he always calls her honey or darling.

Nicknames and terms of endearment should simply feel natural. Of all the
nicknames to call your boyfriend, pick one that you find easy to say that
he responds happily to.
