Cutesy / romantic nicknames, also known as animal names, are often used in relationships to show intimacy. They are equally important to both normal and long-term relationships.

Calling your partner by a nickname can upset some people, but don't let that bother you. Investigators say it is a sign that you both have a healthy and strong relationship.

Benefits

   Higher Level of Intimacy - I believe this means a lot. Naming a pet with a real name sounds very close to you because they are the only words you can use to deal with. It creates a sense of difference.

   Creates Boundary / Exclusiveness - That is the book How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It. It's a way to identify relationships as special because when people around you hear your meaningful conversation, they know you're committed to each other. I know that this kind of situation does not always happen in a long-term relationship, but the two of you can still feel the sense of loneliness. If you see each other again after a while, the feeling will just explode and two of you will be imprisoned in your two worlds. This is what happened to me. When I finally got the chance to meet my girlfriend after a long time, we couldn’t worry about what was happening around us. We focus on each other completely. This is not really the case with pet names but the names of the animals will definitely make it fun. The feeling of being alone is especially important when you are texting or phoning your ex when your spouse is separated from you.

   Warning Signs - When two of you start calling each other animal names, it is a clear sign when he suddenly calls you by your real name. It can mean two things. First, it is because you are angry about something. Second, you play and play with yourself. What happened before is very likely to happen. You have to understand it by sound and context yourself.

Tips

   About Awkwardness - I know it is weird and you can feel embarrassed when you call your partner a new nickname. Don't worry, it's normal and I've seen it before. It’s like a freak when you want to say “I love you” for the first few moments. Say it as normal as possible and continue with it for a few days. You will both get used to it. After that, you will feel awkward if you do not use the nickname all of a sudden.

   Talk To Your Lover At The Beginning Of Every Conversation - A bad example: "What are you doing?" A good example: "Baby, what are you doing?" Calling him a pet before any sentence makes a big difference. Sounds very close.

   Respect each other - Remember to always respect your partner. Do not name pet names that they do not like. The advice is to start by calling your partner the names of a particular animal you love. It will generate more conversations on this. It is clear from the conversation whether you like the name of the animal. If you feel that your partner does not like it, just try another one the next time. One way to ask your partner directly is if you can use the name of this animal on him or her. Usually, your partner will like any words you call him or her. Just ... Don't be shy!
