[Edit]Tips

  • Did you know that pet names are a universal sign of affection? When you use a nickname, you’re sharing your admiration for someone else.[3]
  • Fun fact: Pet names that start with b or p (like “baby” and “sweetie pie”) are more commonly used because they use bilabial sounds that are easier to pronounce quickly.[4]
