An affectionate nickname or a derivative of a surname - each man is pleased with his own. Some want women to call them "beloved", others do not perceive anything but their own name.
Nicknames - which are excluded
There are some general rules that apply to almost every man. The first is not to call your partner "zay" This is such a hackneyed nickname that calling your "zayu" in the store, you will make ninety-nine men out of a hundred turn around. But yours is the one and only. Therefore, the popular nickname is not for him.
The second rule - do not use the intimate name of a man in public. What you call him in bed should stay between you. Because you can really embarrass a loved one and undermine his authority among friends or subordinates, publicly calling him a "jumper" or "curly-haired woman." The third rule is that most men do not like it if the chosen one calls them by their last name. They prefer a name or an original affectionate nickname.
Nicknames derived from English words are very popular nowadays - "darling" (expensive), "strong" (strong), "smile" (smile), etc.
How to call a loved one - a choice with your husband
The easiest way to find out what name or nickname is to your partner's liking is by asking him about it. Usually men do not hide their desires. He can ask to call himself by name, with a diminutive suffix (Andryushenka, Serezhenka, Aleshenka, etc.), or say that he prefers a simple abbreviation (Yura, Sasha, Misha, etc.).
Men with imagination can choose an original nickname. For example, some people ask their loved ones to call them “diamond”, “apollo”, “batman”, etc., that is, various nicknames that would emphasize their excellent qualities. Others love adjectives - "beloved", "dear", "the best", "wonderful", etc. They express a woman's attitude towards her partner and significantly raise his self-esteem.
Even the funniest nickname sounds affectionate in the lips of a woman you love. But if a man is not sure of his feelings, then anyone will become unpleasant for him.
A nickname for a loved one is not a constant, but a variable
Even the most affectionate or praiseworthy nickname can get boring for both man and woman. Therefore, it is okay if the affectionate names change from time to time. This usually happens by itself. After a funny incident, another nickname often sticks to a man. The only thing that should not be distorted is the real name. Men get very used to the way wives cut him. And if suddenly the chosen one began to say instead of "Andryusha" - "Andrey", this will lead to the idea that something went wrong. The partner will look for the reason in himself, think about what he was guilty of, etc. This will lead to a showdown, a scandal may even break out from scratch.
