There are a few popular nicknames that you can call your partner in 2023. Nicknames such as boo, bae, and baby. These might be cute and sweet, but they aren’t very original if you want to find a unique nickname for the one you love. We have compiled a list of the best old-school pet names you might also love. These names go back decades, and they have a rich charm, making them the perfect nicknames for your significant other.
Pumpkin
When we think of pumpkin now, we think of the lattes from the coffee shop. However, back then, ‘Pumpkin’ was a sweet nickname for your significant other.
Sugarpie
If you’re looking for the perfect old-school nickname for your spouse, then Sugarpie might be the one for you. It’s great for someone you hold near and dear to your heart.
Lovebug
Even though this name originated from a species of march fly, it is a timely nickname you could choose for your partner. Other names that go with this are snuggle muffin and cuddlebug, but the nickname lovebug is a bit more endearing.
Dumpling
We all love dumplings, and it’s an old-time term of endearment. Men primarily used it for their girlfriends. However, now it is a more gender-fluid nickname for someone you love.
Mon Petit Chou
It’s important not to get this French translation wrong. “Mon petit chou” translates to “my little cabbage,” a nickname that goes back for centuries. It can be used with other terms like Darling and honey.
Darling
This is a popular nickname even now, often used with endearment. It dates back to the Elizabethan Era and comes from Old English, meaning “one who is very much beloved.” There are many songs now that feature the word Darling.
Beloved
This is a very old-fashioned pet name, and it’s what love letters are made of. Calling someone “my beloved” or “beloved” is a meaningful and romantic way of naming someone you love.
Lovey
The nickname ‘Lovey’ dates back to the 18th Century, and it’s a great pet name for someone dear to your heart, similar to the nickname sweetheart. It can also be a woman’s name.
Sweetheart
Calling someone sweetheart is quite common even now, and it’s a nickname that we think will never go out of style. It has an endearment tone and ultimately means “loved one.” It can be dated back to the 15th Century.
Sunshine
This Old English nickname is known more for women, but at the moment, it has a more gender-fluid use. This means that both men and women can call their partners it.
Dollface
This started being used in the 1940s and 1950s and is a name for appreciating how perfect someone’s beauty is. It’s used sometimes now, but not as often as it once was.
