How to Come Up with a Nickname for Your Girlfriend
-
1Try adding a "-y" or "-ie" to the end of her name to cute-ify it. What's cutesier than adding a "-y" or "-ie" to the end of a word? Doing this will automatically make a word 100% more adorable and silly—and then you can build off of the resulting name or add to it to make a truly silly and unique nickname! For instance:
- Beth → Betty
- Dawn → Dawny
- Sam → Sammy
-
2Rhyme her name with a cute or silly word. Silly Willy, Cher Bear, Milli Vanilli—rhymes are automatically fun and playful, and unless your GF is called "Brunehilde" or something, you'll probably be able to find at least one cute or cool word that rhymes with her name! Here are some other rhyming nickname ideas for common girls' names:
- Samantha → Sam I Am
- Maisy → Crazy Maisy or Lazy Maisy
- Alina (or any name that ends in -ina, really!) → Alina Ballerina
- Devan → Deventh Heaven
-
3Use personal details about her interests for inspiration. Is she the biggest Fleetwood Mac fan you've ever met? Then she might just be your Fleetheart (like "sweetheart"—get it?). Her interests, hobbies, and personal history can serve as inspiration for the nickname you create —and she's sure to be touched to have a part of her life honored in this way!
- Think about her favorite bands, books, movies, video games, and TV shows.
- Consider where she grew up, her favorite haunts, her work, or her hobbies.
- For example, if she loves knitting, she might be your darling Knitwhit. If she's a history buff (or just a Wayne's World buff), she might be Babe-raham Lincoln.
-
4Make sure she's OK with the nickname you choose! You may have found the silliest and sweetest nickname to use on your girlfriend, but if she doesn't like it, it's automatically a no-go! Ask her how she feels about it before committing to it as her alter-ego. If it hurts her feelings or just doesn't vibe with her in some way, respect her opinion. Maybe you could even come with a cool nickname for her together!
