Our selection of cute nicknames for guys includes many universally known classics – and some surprises.
Most people have been given a nickname at some stage in their life. Nicknames take many forms, from simply shortening a given name, to creating a name that is completely different.
When used as an expression of endearment between lovers with a close emotional bond, almost anything goes. But, if the relationship is relatively new, make sure that you test out your pet name when you are alone together. It’s just not a good idea to use any nickname – cute or otherwise – for the first time in public.
If you have misjudged your guy’s character you will have created an embarrassing situation – or something worse. Probably he has a nickname from school, or from some other stage in his life. But if his current nickname is from a previous relationship, how will you replace it?
We hope that our list of cute nicknames will help you with your guy.
