A good nickname says something about her: her laugh, her freckles, the way she steals your hoodie. Pick a style above, then shuffle until one makes you smile. If it makes you smile, it'll probably make her smile too.

Cute nicknames for your girlfriend
Cute nicknames are the everyday kind: Babe, Cutie, Bunny, Love bug. They work in a good-morning text, in front of friends and in a birthday card. If you're not sure what she likes, start there.
Sweet names like Sunshine, Darling and My person are a step more romantic. Save Light of my life for when you mean it.
How to choose a nickname she'll like
The right name feels like it was made for her. A few rules of thumb:
- Notice what she already responds to. If she lights up at "gorgeous", there's your answer.
- Make it about her. Freckles or Sunshine only works if it's true.
- Keep funny names at home at first. Gremlin is hilarious on the couch, less so in front of her coworkers.
- Save sexy names for private moments. Kitten in a late-night text is flirty; in a group chat, not so much.
- Ask her. "Do you like it when I call you that?" is a sweet question in itself.
