Here Are 123 Nicknames to Call Your Girlfriend, Wife, or Partner (1)

Cutesy nicknames are common among couples in relationships, as ridiculous as the names may be. Love does wacky and wonderful things to your brain, and there's seemingly no end to the pet names people dream up for their girlfriend, wife, or partner. (FYI, if you're looking for nicknames for the special guy in your life, head here.) Some guys go the "classic" route with names like "angel," "darling," and "sweetheart"; some prefer food-inspired nicknames, like "cookie" and "cupcake"; and some straight-up worship their partners with loving names like "queen," "goddess," and "light of my life."

There's no such thing as a wrong nickname to use for your partner, as long as you're both into it. Science shows that using any private pet name—be it "baby" or "schmoopy bloop bloop be doop"—is a sign of a healthy relationship. A widely-cited 1993 study in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found a positive correlation between relationship satisfaction and married couple's use of nick names and other silly idioms.

So don't be embarrassed; try out a cute nickname for the lucky lady in your life—or, if you already have a pet name picked out, mix things up with one of the options below.
