Nicknames come in all shapes and forms, but the pet names that you call the love of your life should always be unique and swoon-worthy. These nicknames may come into play almost immediately once you start dating, and your actual name is soon forgotten. In fact, many consider it to be a clear indicator that you are in some kind of trouble when your significant other calls you by your first name instead of the pet name they have given you. If you find yourself in the doghouse and need some sweet nickname inspiration, we've got you covered.

Show Them How Well You Know Them

On the other hand, a nickname for our significant other may develop after dating for a while, after getting to know each other better and growing closer. While it is true that some nicknames come rather quickly, based on first impressions and big feelings (and those nicknames can also be meaningful), others are born out of familiarity and comfortability. Much like an inside joke or a favorite memory, a pet name is one of the many ways that couples can honor and express their appreciation for a shared history together that only the two of them are intimately familiar with. And while cute pet names are often looked upon as too cheesy or nauseatingly lovey-dovey, there is no need to feel any shame in using them to express your affections for your partner. Your loved one will appreciate that the nickname you have chosen for them is a demonstration of how well they are known and understood by you. After all, the best nicknames are the ones that make us feel seen. We collected charming nicknames that Southerners lovingly call their girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, and wives. When the honeymoon stage hits, the nicknames for your girlfriend or boyfriend are often longer and cuter—but husbands and wives know that with age, nicknames get shorter (but the love gets sweeter!). Honey changes to hon' and sugar pie switches to shug. Everything's better with age, including these adorable terms of endearment.

Sweet Nicknames for Girlfriends and Wives

When choosing a nickname for the one you love, you should think about their personality and character. When you call them by this name, do you want to highlight the attractive features that drew you in, their generosity and kindness, or how sweet you think they are? Consider these pet names for your girlfriend or wife.

Is it too late to marry at 35 for a woman?

"There's no best age to get married. Men or women alike. Unless the person is ready. It can be the early 20s or late 30s.

timesofindia.indiatimes.com - At what age should a person get married? 5 Indians share their views

"If someone says that the right age to get married is 28 or 30 or whatever, just pay no attention to him. The perfect age for marriage is a myth. No one can tell you at what age should you get married. It is you who will decide. I got married at 35, and it's been seven years and I am not yet sure if that was the right age for me to get married. Would my life change if I had taken the plunge at my 20s or my 40s? Yes. Would it have been perfect? No. Marriage requires a lot of work and it doesn't matter at what age you get married, if you don't work hard, invest your emotions and do the right thing, it will never work," said Satish Raj Singh, an entrepreneur.
