Relationships are always about adding a new level of identity and intimacy to a special someone, to set apart the relationship between two people. What better way to doing this than conjuring up a pet name for your lover, that only the two of you are aware of. Something unique and awkwardly fun just for the both of you.

It is all about being cute in love. Here are some of the facts you need to know before coming up with that cute pet name:

1. It has to mean something to you

When you really like something, you want to cuddle and sink into that person or thing.  You want to own it and form an unbreakable bond with it. This also applies to pet names; Your instincts create a scenario whereby you automatically associate your lover with something that only you know what emotions they trigger.

2. Moment of bliss

You really don't have to think so hard and be creative about your lover's cute pet name. Let it grow organically, that way it will never be out-phased by time or emotions. Let it be driven by intuition and desire; maybe while in the passionate heat of lovemaking or just amusement that happens on a whim and wham! There it is. It may be a stupid word, but it’s still filled with all the emotions that you could sum up in that happy moment.

3. It defines your relationship

This is a token of love, the fact that this person considers you special enough to give you a name that’s personal and has a special importance between you both reveals a lot about how special you are to them. You part from the crowd as you customize your relationship just for the two of you.

4. Foundation of the relationship language

Once a couple starts using pet names on each other then this sets the tone for the level of intimacy they will share with regard to communication. As much as they speak the language of love, the relationship language is also as important.

5. Connects to our inner child and feelings

The cute use of pet names is fun and childish. It's playful and very intimate, that's why lots of couples tend to shun using these nicknames in public settings since they expose their vulnerability. This shows the role that these pet names play in helping couples connect to their deeper intimate feelings. Furthermore, a little childish play never killed anyone!

6. Don't force one, let it come naturally

Now that you know the benefits of using pet names, don't go fishing for one so as to accrue these benefits. If you still don’t have a pet name for each other, don’t worry about it. The best things require patience, when it finally does come you will notice it. Embrace it!
