End of the list, but not the end of the love!
Whatever you choose, say it with warmth and lots of cuddles.
Because these nicknames? They grow into memories.
And one day, you’ll hear your grown-up boy smile and say, “Mumma still calls me Chiku.”
So pick with love. And enjoy every silly, sweet moment. ❤️
FAQs
- Go with the vibe: Is he playful? Calm? Always smiling?
- Use the full name: Shorten or modify his real name (e.g., Aarav → Aaru)
- Keep it natural: If it rolls off the tongue easily and feels affectionate, it’s a winner!
Indian nicknames often have roots in affection, food names, or simply cute sounds (like Gugu, Tinku).
Western nicknames are often based on abbreviations (like Ben for Benjamin) or character traits.
That said, today’s parents often mix both styles to create unique names!
