120 Classic, Corny and Cute Couple Nicknames

All the best couples have their own unique nicknames: Logan Huntzberger calls Rory "Ace" in Gilmore Girls; Marshall Erikson and Lily Aldrin use "Marshmallow" and "Lilypad" in How I Met Your Mother; and Han Solo affectionately refers to Princess Leia as "Your Worshipfulness" in Star Wars. Of course, couple nicknames aren't just for fictional relationships. Prince Philip famously called Queen Elizabeth II "Cabbage"; Jason Kelce nicknamed his wife, Kylie, "Joe"; and let's not forget the Internet's favorite influencer duo, Jett and Campbell "Pookie" Puckett. Whether sweet, silly or swoon-worthy, the right nickname can be a fun way to show someone you love them.

When choosing a cute nickname for your partner, think about what feels personal and reflects your unique connection. A great nickname is a playful form of words of affirmation that shows your love in a special way.
