Whether you and your significant other are in the early days of dating, or you've already popped the question (and captioned the engagement Insta!), there comes a time when your mind turns to an important topic, and that's tracking down the best nicknames for girlfriend/cute names to call your fiancée. It's a serious business, after all. You need something that will make her smile. Funny usually works, but on the other hand, you don't want to crown her with a pet name that's going to get old or grate on everyone's nerves. Of course, you can go romantic or flirty, too...just be sure to stay respectful. There's no doubt the pressure's on, but worry not, because you're sure to find inspiration from our list below.
From adorbs suggestions like "Button" and "Poppet," to grin-inducing keepers including "Bunbuns" and "Lady Awesomesauce," you'll find loads of good ideas to help get your creative juices flowing. You probably want to personalize your sweetheart's nickname, so think about favorite movies you've seen together—maybe she's your "Barbie" girl, for example—or her favorite flower ("My Rose") or even feathered friends she loves ("Hummingbird"). In general, pop culture can be a goldmine for great terms of endearment, such as "Betty Boop" or "Dancing Queen." Choose carefully, and then hit up our Questions to Ask Your Girlfriend to Deepen Your Connection and spark your next heart-to-heart. You'll grow even closer with each other in no time flat!
