How to Come Up with a Cute Nickname

PDF download Download Article
  1. Pick an endearing nickname that matches your partner’s personality. Reflect on their hobbies, interests, and appearance to come up with the perfect nickname . If your girlfriend is always positive, for example, you could call her “Sunshine.” If your boyfriend is a gym rat, you could call him “Muscles.” Have fun coming up with something playful, flirty, and unique, and remember to be considerate of your partner’s feelings—if they don’t like your nickname, stop using it.
    • To come up with a “power couple” nickname, like “Bennifer” or “Brangelina,” combine the first or last part of your name with the first or last part of your partner’s name.
    • If you want to come up with a funny nickname, comedian Manuel Garavito recommends “putting a word in the middle [of their name].” You could call your partner Franco “The Divine” Gomez, for example, or Juliette “Tonedeaf” Johnson. Feel free to use a word that’s “grandiose, sarcastic, or something obvious.”
