Finding a cute nickname for someone is such a fun thing to do, especially if it's for your significant other. Sure, you could call them by their actual name, but coming up with a pet name makes things more exciting and endearing. Just take it from Ree Drummond, who always refers to her husband Ladd as Marlboro Man or even "pookie head" from time to time. See? It can be so amusing! If you're looking for a couple nickname for your significant other that fits their personality, then keep reading for a list of inspiration.
No one is the same, so not every nickname will work for every person. That's why this list has 110 options! You can go the romantic route and call your husband or wife (or boyfriend or girlfriend) something like "Lovebug." But if your person is more into keeping things silly, then calling them "Sugar Booger" may do the trick. Whatever the case may be for you and your partner, assigning them a nickname is the way to go. This will become especially helpful when you're trying to come up with a love message for an anniversary card or even a cute caption for a couples Instagram post.
