230+ Adorable Nicknames For Your Girlfriend That'll Make Her Swoon

One aspect of relationships that you probably either find endearing or super annoying is couples having nicknames for each other. Sure, a lot of people have nicknames based on their actual first names (shout out to all the Annies, Lizzies, Bobbies, and Hanks out there). But the nicknames you give your significant other are different. These are used as ways to show affection for the other person — not trying to shorten their name. Nicknames are unique, personal, and restricted to certain people, so if you have one for your lover, you’ve entered sweetheart territory. (Congrats!)

And sometimes, no matter how embarrassing, those nicknames have a way of making your lover feel special. It’s also a great way to get out of trouble or unruffle feathers if you’ve made your boo mad. Of course, it could have the opposite effect if your current love finds out they inherited the nickname of your last love! So, if your nickname for your previous girlfriend was “Schmoopie,” you do yourself a favor and find a new one for your next relationship.

But if you’re in the market for a nickname for your girlfriend, here are a few suggestions.

One More Note About Nicknames

Nicknames typically need to hold meaning. Sure, you can fall into the “babe” and “honey” line. And that’s fine. But the best nicknames will always have a special meaning — often that only the two of you will understand. Maybe you called her “bunny” because she wiggles her nose or likes to have sex… a lot. Maybe she is a mini Alex Trebek, so you called her JEOPARDY! It may not seem romantic on the surface, but she will appreciate you recognizing her for her brain. If she is a ginger with an Anne of Green Gables obsession? You might even get away with calling her “Carrots.”

What is she good at? What is she obsessed with? What do you enjoy doing together? Nicknames can just be cute pet names with no meaning. However, if you can find a way to personalize it, it will mean that much more to her… and you.
