\u2018Pooh Bear\u2019, \u2018Won Won\u2019, \u2018Catnip\u2019, or even \u2018Mrs. Darcy\u2019 are a few of the pet names for couples that rarely make sense yet are sweet nicknames or arguably even the best nicknames. You could spend days trying to understand the evolution of these but there\u2019d be little point to it. Nicknames rarely follow rules of grammar and most of them come to life from a random incident (read Starbucks\u2019 baristas messing up your names). Nicknames are meant to be used affectionately, not dissected in a linguistics class.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s in a name?\u201d said Shakespeare. But nicknames often have more substance than names. Good couple nicknames, even if they\u2019re not logical, tell a story of their own. Unlike names that are given to a person, a nickname is earned. Unless it\u2019s one of those shortened versions of a name like Robert, it becomes Rob. But doesn\u2019t your best friend or your other half deserve more originality than that? Don\u2019t they deserve creative nicknames? They do and we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
Pet names for couples have come a long way from \u2018beloved\u2019 to \u2018bae\u2019 and from \u2018 sweetie pie\u2019 to \u2018sweet cheeks\u2019. Unique couple nicknames have been observed to create a positive effect on a relationship. Research<\/a> has suggested a direct correlation between interpersonal love language and relationship satisfaction. They observed that \u2018idiosyncratic communication\u2019, i.e., nicknames, expressions of affection, and any other \u2018couple speak\u2019 or phrases or jokes developed within the relationship, are associated with relationship satisfaction. Let\u2019s check out a few that have out-of-the-ordinary names, like Shining Armour Bugs, Love Bugs, or Arrow Chip:<\/p>\n
