Looking for cute nicknames for your girlfriend, boyfriend, or kids? Here’s your master list of cute nicknames from around the world.
Pumpkin, peanut, bubby, baby, babe, bae, honey, darling, sugar, sweetie, honeybunch… English is packed full of fun, creative, and cute nicknames to call your loved ones.
From food to animals, to just plain gibberish words – lots of us love giving a cute nickname to our significant other, family, friends, and children.
And it's not just English. In every language, people have terms of endearment to show their love and affection. Learning these can add new depth to your language learning – especially if you're learning a language to speak with loved ones.
Learning pet names is also a fun way to expand your vocabulary, and it develops your cultural understanding. Many of the words used as nicknames reflect social relationships and are intertwined with the values of a particular culture .
Let's get into it! Here are some cute nicknames from around the world.

Starting with English, which is rich with cute and crazy nicknames for your significant other.
I listed some off at the beginning of this article, but here are some other cool nicknames:
Spanish is known as a passion-infused language , so there's no shortage of cute nicknames in Spanish!
There are some creative Spanish nicknames, such as mi perrito (“my puppy”), mi cielito (“my little heaven”), and amorcito (“little love”).
Spanish has plenty of cute nicknames for girls and boys, too. The most popular are:
The French have tons of affectionate pet names they call each other. But some of them are a little less cute when translated into English.
Nicknames like mon saucisson (“my little sausage”), mon petit chou (“my little cabbage” but used like “sweetie”), mon gros (“my fat one”), and ma puce (“my flea”) are a bit strange in English.
I don't know about you, but being called a flea doesn't sound all that affectionate!
But others are other pet names for girls that are much cuter, such as:
There are so many different ways to address your loved ones in French!
For guys, there are endearing terms like:
Looking for good nicknames to use for your kids? Try:
They're all used the same way as “sweetie” or “honey” in English.
Try expressing your love with phrases like:
Let's face it, who wouldn't want to be whispered sweet nothings in Italian? Italy is known for being warm and affectionate, and their nicknames help infuse that affection into the language.
You can watch almost any movie set in Italy and hear someone say “ Mio amor! ” – “My love”. This can be shortened to simply Amore or even Amo . Meanwhile in southern Italy you sometimes hear “ Vita mia! ” – “My life”.
Italian pet names called nomignoli are used freely and often for everyone, especially for children. Here are some examples:
All these are in the masculine “o” ending – you can change the “o” to an “a” to make it a feminine word when talking to girls.
With your significant other, you can use romantic Italian terms like:
You can even passionately exclaim, “ Luce dei miei occhi! ” (“Light of my eyes!”) when you see your loved one — although that's often used more as a joke.
As for cute Italian nicknames for friends, you can use:
Some people will only call their closest friends these terms, while others refer to everyone with pet names like these.
There's a surprising number of ways to express your affection and liebe auf Deutsch .
Granted, some German expressions may seem a bit odd to call someone. One of the most common and popular nicknames for women is Maus or Mauschen , which translates to “mouse” and “little mouse.” It's common to hear a man call his wife or girlfriend that.
Even more interesting, the Germans have created their own hybrid animal nickname, which I personally love: Mausebär (“mouse bear”). Adorable, right?
Other good terms of endearment for your boyfriend or girlfriend:
And you can always make a nickname even better by adding the diminutive, -chen or -lien . That basically just makes it extra cute and “little”.
The interesting thing about Japanese is they don't often use nicknames at all.
The language is very formal – always referring to someone by their last name plus -san . For example, Mr. Tanaka is “Tanaka-san”.
So when it comes to expressing love, affection, and friendship in Japanese , it's usually as simple as calling your significant other by their first name only.
Using someone's first name symbolizes a comfortable, mutual affection or friendship. And calling someone you don't know by their first name is a big no-no in Japanese culture.
Whoever has seniority in the relationship has to be the one to establish that it's okay to be called by a less formal name.
But, the Japanese do have some cute nicknames. They love to make everything とてもかわいい ( totemo kawaii , “very cute”).
A common example is shortening a celebrity's name: Hikki for Utada Hikaru, MatsuJun for Jun Matsumoto of Arashi, and Maririn and Meetan for Mariko Shinoda and Megumi Ohori from AKB48.
But it's much more common to create cute names by shortening the person's name and adding -chan , -kun , or -tan .
Although the general rule of thumb is -chan for girls, -kun for boys, and -tan is gender-neutral, it all depends on the person and situation.
There are some affectionate nicknames for spouses, too, like:
As with Japanese, Korean has rules about calling someone by their first name only – and it's not very common.
How you address a person defines your relationship, and you must be on close terms to start calling them a nickname. But unlike Japanese, creative and cute nicknames are quite a common way to show love and affection in Korean !
A lot of times in K-dramas , you'll hear couples call each other cute and names like:
They even have a cute nickname for girls who whine – 찡찡이( jjing-jjingi , “whiny”).
You can even call out the affectionate greeting, “안녕, 내사랑!” ( annyeong, nae sarang! , “hello, my love!”)
Ways to use these Korean pet names:
I hope these nicknames from around the world will help you get more speaking practice with loved ones and build deeper relationships!
After all, what's more enticing to practise speaking than when you can see someone's reaction to a lovely new nickname? So start sweet-talking away!

All around the world, people love to tell their favourite people they care about them – and while some choose to say “I love you” all the time, many also use cute nicknames. 
From sweet names for boyfriends and girlfriends, to pet names for children and friends, to downright nonsensical nicknames for anyone in your life, we’ve put together a list of our favourite cute nicknames in some of the world’s most spoken languages . 
Now all you have to do is decide which ones you’re brave enough to try out on your loved ones!
As the language of William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and Beyoncé, there are many great ways to show your affection in English… without resorting to any of these cringe-worthy pick-up lines . 
While we’ve compiled some of today’s most popular nicknames, you could find many more off the beaten track. In English, just about anything can be an endearing nickname if you add the right compliment. 
Not sure about that? Think of the creative compliments from Shakespeare – like “sweet wag” and “dainty duck” – not to mention the totally off-the-wall nicknames given by Leslie Knope in the series Parks and Recreation – nicknames like “brilliant, sexy little hummingbird”, “beautiful, rule-breaking moth” and “rainbow-infused space unicorn”. They’re weird, but they work.
Here are 14 great English nicknames and how to use them:
And of course, if you’re looking for something purely romantic – if a little cheesy – you can always tell your partner they’re your soulmate or the love of your life . But watch out – these words are heavy hitters in the English language of love, so you’d better mean them!
Did you know this? In most languages, including English, nicknames are typically reserved for close friends, partners and family members. So our general tip? Try not to use these cute nicknames, as great as they are, in a formal setting, or with complete strangers. Of course, there are always a few exceptions. Say, for example, you find yourself in the north of England: depending on the place, it’s perfectly normal (polite, even!) to call a woman you’ve just met anything from “love”, to “duck”, to our personal favourite, “petal”.
When it comes to fun and creative nicknames, the French may just have the market cornered. 
From nonsense words to food-centric nicknames to romantic pet names, the French language has too many cute nicknames for boyfriends, girlfriends, loves and family members to count. 
But we managed to whittle down our list to 10.
An honourable mention must go to the wide variety of options for romantic nicknames centred around chou .
Mon chou (meaning both my sweet bun, as in chou à la crème , and cabbage) mon chouchou , ma chouchoute , even jokingly mon petit chou-fleur , which means “my little cauliflower”. 
And when it comes to slightly unflattering options, ma puce is a common and tender nickname for one’s wife or daughter en français . It just happens to mean “my flea”.
Moving on to cute nicknames in Spanish, where the diminutive – aka, all things miniscule – is king. 
Whether you’re talking to a child or your schnookums, calling them your little – well, just about anything – using the appropriate suffix is a perfect term of endearment. 
Popular examples include bebecito/-cita (little baby), abejita (little bee) and even pastelito (which technically means a little pastry, tartlet, little pie or muffin – but is used like sweetie).
But there are many more wonderful things to call your girlfriend (or, you know, other loved ones) in Spanish than that! 
Cute nicknames are fun, but do you know what’s even better? Learning a new language. 
Whether you want to express your affection in French, German, Japanese, or any other of our 12 languages, you can start learning for free on Busuu today.
Let’s face it, the Italian language can make just about anything sound romantic. 
Topolino sure sounds better than “Mickey Mouse”, and who wouldn’t rather say allora than “well” or “um”?
Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that the denizens of Rome have as many creative words for their loved ones as they do for pasta shapes.
We’ve chosen 12 popular and adorable nicknames from the Italian language.
If you’re looking for hot, steamy names to call your boyfriend, Japanese might not have what you’re looking for. 
While less common now, even recent generations of women would call their husbands by their family names with the suffix -san , equivalent to Mister. The culture around the language is simply a little bit more formal.
In fact, a recent Japanese study found that the majority of women would prefer not to be called by any nickname by a romantic partner, but simply by their given name, the switch to a given name being in itself a sign of closeness and familiarity. But that doesn’t mean there are no nicknames whatsoever!
Nicknames in Japan are largely formed by adding suffixes or playing with someone’s first and last name to create a pun or a cuter, more kawaii (かわいい) sound. And there are a few nicknames like “darling” – many of them loosely borrowed from English.
Did you know this? If you want to invent your own nicknames for friends and family or start using -chan and -kun in your closest friendships, you can do that. Just remember that it’s up to whoever is older in your relationship to take the lead on what kinds of names are appropriate. And one more thing: if you’re younger, don’t call a boss -chan or -kun , even if they say it to you – it’s for juniors when used in a work environment.
Last, but certainly not least, the German language has plenty of cute nicknames for boys and girls (and everyone else, too).
While many cute German nicknames have familiar themes – sugary sweet nicknames, it seems, are universal – the German language also has several delightfully creative and unique nicknames to call your loved ones.
And there you have it, meine Lieblinge. Now you have 59 new, unique and adorable nicknames to call the special people in your life, from bambinos to your dolce metà . 
Express your love in six different languages and they’re sure to see how much you care.
