100+ Best Boyfriend Nicknames from Cute to Flirty

There are certain milestones common to just about any longer-term romantic relationship, from the jittery first date and (slightly more calm and collected) second date, on through the lovey-dovey homemade dinner-for-two and, eventually, the all-important weekend getaway. Somewhere along the way, you'll probably find yourself wondering, "What are some super cute nicknames for boyfriend?" After all, most twosomes have special terms of endearment for each other. Which, it turns out, is a darn good thing—research has shown that couples who use nicknames for their partners tend to be more satisfied in their relationship, with a stronger connection than couples who don't. Nicknames are a way of demonstrating affection and increasing intimacy, whether they're sweet or silly, like some of our favorites below.

If you haven't come up with a pet name for your Precious, you're sure to find a winner on our list, which includes pop culture suggestions like "Maverick," "Mr. Big," and "McSteamy"; ideas heavy on the sex appeal (we loooove "Trouble"); and a few serious ones, too, such as the simple, swoony "Soulmate." There are some recs that are so hilarious they're sure to put a great big grin on his face, but we promise that we've steered clear of icky, cloying nicknames, like Seinfeld's legendarily nauseating "Schmoopy." Then, after you've chosen a moniker for your guy, head on over to Love Quotes for Him That Will Touch Your Man's Heart for the perfect sentiment to send in a text or card.
