Want A Nickname For Your Special Someone? Here Are 133 Nicknames For Boyfriends

Finding a nickname for that special someone in your life is a great way to deepen your bond, foster feelings of connection, and strengthen your relationship. After all, nicknames are endearing, they can be thoughtful, romantic, or funny—and they're especially great if your partner really likes words of affirmation.

When considering which nickname to choose for your boyfriend, take things into account like his personality, any of your inside jokes, and what he tends to respond to positively. If he likes to be praised, for example, you might opt for "my King" or "Superman." If he's more of a jokester, you could go for a funnier one like, "Stud Muffin" or "Snookums."

You can always use a little trial and error to find a nickname that doesn't feel forced—and of course, one your boyfriend likes.

And while it's not a thoroughly studied area of relationship research, one study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships1 found that married couples who used nicknames reported higher marriage satisfaction.
