50 Super Sweet Nicknames to Call Your Boyfriend

The time has come: you’ve reached the point in the relationship where you’re ready to call your boyfriend a cute and lovey-dovey nickname. With all the feels you’re feeling, calling your boyf by their first name just doesn’t seem to convey how much you love and care for them. Sure, some pet names for boyfriends are a bit cringe… but who cares when you’re in love?!

Calling your boyfriend a nickname expresses a deeper level of intimacy and closeness. While all of their fam and friends call them by their first name (or a shortened version of it), only *you* can dub them “babe” or “bubba.” Your nickname for your boyfriend could refer to a cute inside joke, represent their favorite food (hi, pickle!), or be a sweet and simple term of endearment. You could stick with just one nickname or switch between variations of a few (sweetheart, sweetie, sweet pea, honey, honey bunny… we could go on). No matter what, their hearts will go pitter-patter when you call them a sweet nickname during your next date night or flirty text convo.
