I'm thinking about dating someone I really like. I want to give him a cute nickname but need help thinking of one. I don't want something boring like baby or sweetie.
To describe him he's 28, about 6'1" 200 lbs. He likes classic rock music and indie. I thought about using something with phish, I know a couple who's nicknames are pappa and mamma phish & I think that's so cute.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Ewww... nicknames.
If you want to go the nickname route, you have to let it come naturally. Something the spur of the moment.
Remember, not all guys are into nicknames. It actually turns some people off.
Haha my boyfriend and I call each other all sorts of random things. Sometimes he's my big spoon, because when you "spoon" cuddle, the guy is the big spoon because he's on the outside.
sometimes he's Jerk
other's it's just Boyfriend, or stinky, or whatever I decide to call him
He calles me little Kiwi. Kiwi rhymes with Keeley.It's cute when he says it, but if anyone else did I'd kick them. :)
I dated a girl once who spoke english as a second language...
She always called out to me with "baby"... pronounced "bay-beh"... it was the sexiest thing. I still can hear her voice calling out to me. It was the sweetest thing...
I got some good ones:
Porkchop
BonerChamp
Hot Dog Fingers
Purple Headed Yogurt Slinger
The Ramburglar
Pennis the Menace
Pope John Pole III
Kaptain Keilbasa
The Third Arm Of Justice
Muffin
Hunny Bunny
Cutie Poo
Hope this helps.
Nicknames, IF they ever are used, should be a part of getting to know each other and growing together as a couple. Trying to pick one out is tantamount to naming a puppy or kitten before you get it.
His parents already named him. Why are you wanting to give him a new name before you are even in a relationship with him? That strikes me as being a bit premature and in a way controlling.
The sarcasm font looks like this.Quote:

How is that even remotley controlling? I'm trying to be sweet. This guy has been courting me for 5 months and has brought me flowers at work called me beautiful practically every day. I'm trying to show my appreciation by coming up with a cute nickname to compliment him. Its comparable to a love poem!Quote:

I actually agree with you nicknames ewe but I was looking for something cute but not mushy. I was just looking for ideas. I agree baby is cute but too common. If u just want to tell me not to think of a nickname because its cheesy or uncool please don't bother answering!
Fair warning, Don't let this turn in to a big heated debate over it.
If you don't like the responses, then just ignore them and reply to the ones you consider helpful. This way it avoids unnecessary arguments.
Since this is a message board, anyone can answer at any time. Not everyone has the same opinions, and I've seen quite a few arguments over things even as small as this.
Don't let other's opinions get to you so much! :)
I'm not lecturing you, and you're not in trouble, I'm just letting you know so that you don't get in trouble in the future.
I'm guessing that you're under 19, because after 19 nicknames aren't that cute anymore.
I met my hubby when we were both 19, that was 19 years ago. Yes, half our lives and we're still together.
He started as;
Pooky
Sweetie
Shnookie
Lovey
All the cutsie putsie lovey dovey nicknames you can think of in the first few months of a relationship.
Then you really get to know each other. You realize that pooky snores. Also, Shnookie leaves his dirty underwear on the floor. Lovey doesn't pick up after himself and Sweetie is always late!
After around 19 years together your nicknames sound something like this;
A$$hole
Jerk
$hit head
You get the picture.
Oh, I still love him, I really do. We're lifers, nothing can tear us apart, but the lovey dovey cutsie crap died a long time ago, because, well, it's nauseating and downright annoying.
Just my opinion.
Having said that, why not save yourself some trouble, call him poophish. :)
Haha more than anything my boyfriend and I call each otherQuote:

Dork
Meanie
Stinky
Crabby-pants
Scratchy face (for him not me)
Cactus legs (for when I don't shave)
Oh sure, there's a couple of cute ones that I mentioned before, but these are the majority. :)
How about, stoopid.
Guys usually respond to that.
Nicknames are pretty stupid. To me anyway, I hate it when guys call me babe, baby or hunny.
My name is Sarah. I'm not a pig, an infant or food.
SARAH :D
That's good advice thank you.Quote:

Where did the sarcastic font go? ;)
So I'm 28 & was married before, I know all about the underwear on the floor and the pee on the toilet seat because theyr too lazy to put it up. Thanks to everyone who's answered so far.

It's either something that just pops out, or it's nothing. If you have to think about it, you're thinking too hard. ;)
My hubby is;
Honey (when I want something)
Sweetie (when I really want something)
A$$hole (when honey and sweetie didn't work and now I'm mad)
Daddy (because that's what the kids call him)
And his name, because, well, it's his name. ;)
I won't tell you what he calls me when he's mad. It will put you off marriage. ;) :p
Why not call him;Quote:

Really, I hope it works out. A nickname won't make it special, your relationship, your commitment, the fun you have together, the life you may build together, that's what makes it special.
A name is just a name. :)
I have no intentions of a heated discussion. I thought it would be a fun discussion though and was hoping for ideas. I think most of you are right though and the nickname will come in time.Quote:

Live and learn. :)
Thanks to altenweg. I was looking for something italian since we both are. I like bello & bellisimo.not sure I can do the accent though. Might be cheesey without the accent. My other idea was smthng animal like bear or panda. Is panda cheesy? It might be lol.
I know a pet name does not make a relationship. I know every relationship is a risk. Everything in life is a risk. Without risks what is life? Boring..
Never meant this to be serious. :)
There really is no "fun" category. I just checked. I really do appreciate your advice though. Thank you.Quote:

I think they're under the last category. If you need help finding them, ask. I'm happy to help if you need it. :)
Thank you again. Sorry I posted in the wrong spot then. I've followed this website since I wanted to leave my husband & was given great advice.
Then stick around. :)Quote:

There are a lot of forums, sometimes it takes a while to understand how this place works, how it flows. We're here to help you figure it out. :)
Really, if you need any help figuring this place out, if you don't know where to post something, just ask. You can PM me, you can post it in forum questions (OMG, is that the name of the forum? It may not be) or you can ask one of our senior members or experts. We're all here to help, it's what we do. :)
I look forward to seeing you around the site.
Seriously though, if you have a question about the site, ask.
Good luck with the nickname, right now, mine is Nighty Night. :)
What I meant by sounding a bit controlling is that it sounded like you wanted to give him a nickname without really thinking about him or your relationship. More like you were writing a script of how you want a relationship with him to go.
I didn't mean to sound harsh. I just wanted you to think about 'how' you were trying to come up with a nickname and how it could be perceived.
I agree that Member Discussions is probably the best place to discuss nicknames. The link on the Home Page is at the bottom under Forum Community.
I look forward to seeing you on the discussion threads. :)
I understand what you are saying now. You're right about me having an idea of how I want the relationship to go. I think I'll skip posting in member discussions on this topic and just wait on the nickname until something comes to me. Also thinking about it any nickname idea given to me wouldn't be original or personal to the relationship. He likes bello and bellissimo.just need to learn the accent! Thanks!Quote:

My previous two big loves were both italian, 3rd generation in the US... so the names they used could very well be absolutely wrong...Quote:

The previous girl would simply call me "amante", for "lover"... I absolutely loved that "nickname"
Yeah you just seemed a bit annoyed, so I wanted to let you know. I'm glad you're not hot-headed and think it's cool to argue with people online. :)Quote:
