80 ultimate nicknames for your boyfriend
It’s official: You’re in lovebird mode. Planning your next date (whether it’s a virtual date with a long-distance partner, a special anniversary outing, or a movie marathon on the couch) has you daydreaming for hours. And thinking up interesting questions to ask your boyfriend is your new favorite hobby.
When you’re oh-so-smitten with your boyfriend, he deserves an endearing nickname (or maybe a few) to match. But coming up with the perfect nickname for the perfect guy is no easy feat. That’s why we did the heavy lifting for you — and you don’t even need to give us credit.
To add an extra splash of sweetness into your life and his, read our comprehensive collection of cute and sweet monikers for every kind of fella. Then, go ahead and test out a few to see what sticks for you and your beau. Some are playful (hot stuff, sweet pea), some are classic (honey, darling), some are a bit out there (good morning, Fluffy Pie!) — but all of them will at least give you two a good laugh, and we do hope a name sticks for good.
