I am wondering about cute nicknames for girlfriends.
I recently called her my little poo-poo thinking it was cute but needless to say it was not taken lightly.
Did I make a mistake?

Failure! Poo-poo is not cute.

Don't you ever sleep?
Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

You called her your little turd? Heheheh
Better call up the flourist and order the BIG arrangement. LOL
If you can't win. Make the fellow in front of you break the record.





^ Yah really. Epic fail dude.
Sorry I missed church. I was too busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian.

LOL
You can't begin damage control soon enough on THAT one.




^^^ Man!
You'd best go buy yourself a magazine rack, cause you got ISSUES!

If your GF is not a dancer why are you posting here? If your GF is a dancer a nick name is the least of your troubles.

If she gets all huffy about your cute nickname for her, you can rename her Little Miss Grumpypants McGrouchy. That'll learn her.










i've always been partial to pumpkin, but no one has ever caught on enough to call me that. *tear*![]()
i have a female friend who once said she's going to marry the first guy who figures out she secretly wants to be called "darlin" and oddly enough.. i have a male friend who calls all his female friends darlin' (but they haven't met).
i call my boyfriend all sorts of weird shit (his name is adam):
adface
sailor
bunny feet
various endearing semi-swear words like "jerkface" and "fucko" (but i don't recommend that for you).

Yeah, I would agree with the others. Please avoid using nicknames involving your bowels. Included here would be "poo poo", "pooface", "poopie" and "shit for brains".
and you don't need to "invent" a nickname. As you have more shared experiences with her, something will come to you both naturally.
Here's mine. There's an obvious theme here:
Snuggles
Snugglebear
Snugs
Snuggle monster
... there's more, but these are the most frequently used
and yes, my testicles just shrunk typing those.












I don't know where it came from. I may have been thinking pooh bear but I said poo-poo. Anyway, she equated that to me calling her my little shit. It's not what I was thinking though.
poo-poo? I'm trying to picture this....
"Hi my little poo-poo, how are you?"
FAIL. Sorry dude.

Peanut
Silly Lil' Peanut
Cupcake
Punkin'
Snuggle Bunny
Angel Cheeks
Sweetie
Cutie Three-One-Four (I'm a nerd - deal with it.)
Usually by the time things are at the "disgustingly-cute nickname" stage of the relationship, I've been past the point where something like "my little poo poo" would be an issue. But then once I'm in that stage I've also laid the foundation of awesome boyfriendness that gives me a long leash and we don't sweat the small stuff.
Why not just stick with the basics? I've never been offended by baby, darling, sweetie, cutie, etc. As long as you don't call every female these, you should be fine, until you are together long enough to find you own unique names (although the unique, weird ones don't do it for me to be honest). Better to use something a little more common than to accidentally call her a ballsack or something next time.![]()



Sorry, but I wouldn't be too happy with "poo-poo" either...
I've always called my man "baby". But there was this time we got separated in a crowd and I yelled out "Baby!" -- and, like EVERYONE turned around... it was so funny... didn't quite think that one through, lol![]()
I know it's really annoying to some people, but I tend to go for animal nicknames. Kitten is a good one that I don't think any woman would balk at. Foxy, or vixen (female fox) work too.
More off the beaten path, I've called people (and been called back):
- duckling
- monkey
- chicken
- shrew (the little mammal, not like the taming of the shrew)
- bunny
- puggle (baby platypus)
The trick is to stay away from anything bovine or porcine, and go for the cute little fuzzy things. Preferably ones that have no physical similarity with your woman in question. I could see "chipmunk" bombing under the right circumstances.





Lol if someone said that to me i would laugh my ass off then make fun of them for it; i guess your girl is sensitive. Some people are like that. Usually when i use terms of endearment I do it kind of jokingly. I called a girl i dated who HATED terms of endearment 'shorty' once as a joke and got the silent treatment for it. I thought it was funny though.
I tend to use 'puddin' a lot for guys. not sure why. For girls usually if im not trying to be flippant i say 'pretty lady' or 'sexy lady' or something like that. I use 'babe' and 'love' universally. Not especially original.
