What are some Spanish pet names or romantic names to call your lover?

If you are looking for pet names in Spanish to use with your “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”, in this article you will find many pet or romantic names in Spanish that you can use to call your lover, boyfriend, girlfriend. or other significant. Here is a list that I have compiled of some of the more common names that I have heard Spanish speakers in Latin America use to express affection. For many of them, I have also added the diminutive.

1. heart, my little heart – heart, my heart

2.príncipe / princess / my little princess – prince, princess, mi princess

3.my king / queen / my little warbler – my king, queen, my queen

4 darling, my darling – darling, my darling

5. my prince charming – my prince charming but literally “my prince charming”

6. treasure / my little treasure – treasure, my little treasure

7.amor / mi amor / mi amorcito – love, my love, my little love

8.mi morenito / mi morenita – my dark complexion one

9. mi paisita – my paisa (“Paisa” is a person from Medellín, Colombia)

10. my gringuito – my gringo

11. my little friend – my dear friend

12. my life – my life

13. teddy bear – teddy bear

14. mommy

15. little thing – little thing

And diminutives aren’t just reserved for people. I have a “little friend” here in Colombia who always refers to her dog as “my little animal” or “my little animal”.

Although “textbooks” will tell you that diminutives are only added to nouns, I have heard Spanish speakers add them to non-noun words to sound more affectionate. For example (for example), “solo” becomes “solo”

My life, you left me alone.

(My life, you left me alone.)

And diminutives aren’t just reserved for “people.” I’ve heard Spanish speakers throw them out anytime they want to sound more loving. Here are some examples:

“Tomorrow” becomes “tomorrow”

My little princess, I want to see you this morning.

My princess, I want to see you this morning.

“Letter” becomes “letter”

My love, you left without leaving me a letter.

My love, you left without leaving me a letter.

“Kiss” becomes “kiss”

My little heart, lady with a kiss.

My heart, give me a little kiss.

My “x-girlfriend” or “x-girlfirend” has a “nickname” (nickname) that people call. Her “nickname” or nickname by which she is called is “Barbie”. Can you guess what I call her when I try to sound loving?

I call her “my little beard”

And can you guess what he calls me? She calls me “my little black.”

Obviously, “mi negrito” is not considered offensive here in Colombia. But I imagine if I asked my dark-skinned Dominican friends in New York, they would probably all agree that “mi morenito” sounds better than “mi negrito.”

This ending is today’s Spanish lesson on pet names or romantic names in Spanish.
