Pet name help

[Crystaltopaz84]

My new boyfriend is the best at surprising me with pet names to call me, but I keep drawing a blank on something personal to call him. I don't really want to be generic (like sweetie, honey, etc.).

 

Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

i've heard people that spoke a plethera of them, such as: sweetie, sweetpea, honey, darling, dear, hun,sugar, brown eyes( that one i heard on t.v.)

 

so anytihng that fits your manner of speaking should do just fine.

Well, I really think pet names are something you need to decide yourself, it won't be the same if *I* give you one for your boyfriend!

 

How about the abdominable snowman..hehe.

 

My boyfriend has a specific nickname for me, that even some of his friends now use and I have a specific nick or two for him too and both are respectable in front of others and fine....but other then that we just use regular names, the only time we use pet names is if we are teasing one another, since they are not really "us". I think they are kinda...too sappy sometimes...so if we are teasing one another we will go overboard with them...lol. Sometimes use things like sweet cheeks or sexy or sweet stuff when being silly/fun, but they are not day to day usage! And we'll use 'babe' as a standard too if we don't use our regular names or nicknames. I would not say they are standard use though for us.

 

I think you just need something that feels right for you, does not have to be overly original, just fits!

Hey Crystal! I agree with RayKay. Pet names are much more fun when they come from you and are inspired from private moments you've shared but maybe these'll give you some ideas?

 

The "Boss", Greenie, Farmer _firstname_, Cowboy, Rough Rider, Mr. Firefighter, Muscles, Bubba (as fine a redneck name as they come), Ice or Iceman, and last but not least Snowball (lol).

 

Btw, I've always found Laura Ingalls (from "Little House on the Prarie") pet name for her husband kinda sexy... "Manly".

 

What's your bf's first name? We might be able to make a play off that too!

Foxy - from Jeff Foxworthy (The redneck comedian)

John Deere tractors, favorite color is green, he owns his own landscaping business, is a volunteer firefighter, likes welding and building stuff, likes Dukes of Hazzard, is kinda redneck, and he loves the winter and snow.

Tim "The tool man" Taylor.

 

Ask him if he's re-wired anything lately... like the fridge or garbage disposal.

just got reminded of the petnames used before...

 

hubby and wifey hehe

When I was younger, a guy used to make everyone call him "My Favorite Weaner." But...uh... dont use that. Trust me. You'll get some weird looks.

 

I like that Foxy one

[antigravity]

I've called old partners all kinds of silly names... Funky Monkey, My lil girl, babe, hon, Cheeky Monkey..

 

I dunno, just say whatever comes into your head when you see them.. And say it!

[Dako]

Bubba, Skeeter, Cletus, Zeke or good old Stinky.

link removed, "pet names" = INSTANT WIN.

Mine: Boo Boo

 

Pumpkinbutt, pumpkin, foofoo, poopie, munchkin, misiu (polish for teddy bear), sweetie pie, cutie patutie...

 

These are VERY over-the-top, but my boyfriend and I like to have fun with it. Or embarrass each other lol

But I agree, it should come naturally, not seem forced.

Thanks everyone for the ideas, I really liked some of them (such as Iceman and Foxy). I have been trying a few different ones for him on my own, but he never seemed to really respond too well to what I came up with and I just couldn't think of others.

 

Again, thanks so much for all the great suggestions!!
