Pet names for your girlfriend just have to be person specific to mean anything. It's not enough to call her "sweety," or "honeybunch." As a matter of fact, those types of pet names for your girlfriend are so bland, if you really care about her, you should erase them from your memory. Generic pet names are definitely not the way to go. Women pay attention to things like that. General pet names show that you aren't paying enough attention to her. Make it a point to come up with cute pet names that remind her of your times with her. They'll mean a lot more. For those of you that may have problems generating cute pet names out of thin air, use these guidelines to help.

  1. Stuff she's in to. Try to create a pet name for your girlfriend that reflects what she likes. If she's really in to music, come up with a musical nickname. Better yet, make a nickname based on her favorite song or band. Names created in a foundation of understanding her will instantly score you points. Even if the pet name sucks, she'll like the fact that you pay so much attention to her.
  2. Fun times together. Pet names with foundations in enjoyable times together are great too. They instantly transport the two of you back to the great time you're referencing. Once again, these types of names show that you pay attention. They show that the special times mean as much to you as they mean to her.
  3. Personal achievements. Has your girlfriend accomplished some huge or important feat? Did she overcome adversity? You could fashion a name that showcases her strong characteristics that enabled her to strive, or push forward. Names based on personal achievement show that you're proud of your lady for the things she's done or will do in her life.
  4. Being creative. Your pet name for her has to be creative. It has to be original. It has to be like an inside joke that only the two of you get. Most people may think that pet names aren't all that important, but you'd be surprised just how endearing a good pet name can be for your lady.
