Even the most serious and business man can smile at an affectionate nickname. Many girls like to call their beloved with tender words, showing their care.
The most common and popular affectionate names are: "bunny", "sun", "cat", "baby" and others. If you're not looking for originality and don't want to invent new words, you can take advantage of these options. There are many standard words that lovers call each other, so you can easily find the right one for your situation.
You can use more than just nouns. Use adjectives. For example, call a loved one cute, dear, beloved, unique, etc. Such universal nicknames can be called a man even in public, because they do not sound too intimate. However, your lover will still feel special.
Come up with a nickname yourself
Come up with derivatives from the first or last name of your loved one. You can use diminutive versions of the name (for example, Alyoshenka, Sasha, Vitenka). If your man has an interesting last name, take the opportunity to create a new nickname.
If your boyfriend's first and last name does not evoke any affectionate associations, try comparing him to animals. Think about what animal does he look like? Men love to be compared to powerful and interesting animals. And the nickname that reflects the traits of his character will be especially successful. Of course, you only need to highlight good features, and not emphasize its completeness, for example, by the nickname "hog". Although some guys are humorous about this.
Remember who he is according to his zodiac sign and use this in your thoughts. You can think of good names, for example, "my lion", "scorpion" or "my fish". Not too original, but it emphasizes his individuality.
What nicknames should not be used
Use positive imagery. The zodiac sign "Virgo" does not need to be played up in the form of a nickname, because no guy wants to be called "Virgo". Therefore, always think about how he will react to this or that nickname.
Choose words that the man will like. If he is against a nickname, do not call him that, but come up with something else. The main thing is that your lover likes it.
Don't use too intimate nicknames in public, especially among his friends. A man may not mind when in private you call him "bunny", but among his friends he wants to maintain authority and respect, and such words can result in ridicule and banter. You should not spoil the life of your beloved one at the wrong time by saying a word.
