Butch Pet Names

Most of us have little nicknames for our partners or girlfriends--but some of you have told me that it's extra tough to come up with cute names for a butch.  "Sweetie" and "honey" can feel a little generic sometimes--and cutesy names like "pookums" or "honey flower" might not exactly cut it for a butch.

So here are some suggestions for butch nicknames.  Some of these are specific to lovers; #2, #3, and #6 would work for butch buddies just as well.

1. "Papi."  I've never been called, nor called anyone, "Papi," but those who use it tell me I'm missing out.
   
2. Their first and last initials: JB, DL, LG, BT, or whatever.
3. Their first initial, followed by "Dog."  As in: C-Dog or T-Dog. 
   
4. "Handsome."  I don't usually like being called "handsome," because it feels too gendered to me (as does "pretty").  But I know lots of butches who eat it up!
5. "Gorgeous."  As in: "Welcome home, Gorgeous."  (Who wouldn't want to come home to that?)
6. A one-syllable descriptor, like "Ace" or "Bear" or "Blue" or "Pants."  Ideally, this will be something relevant to their appearance or character.
7. Something playful, like "Spunky" or "Snappy."  (Actually, "Snappy" is one of my many nicknames for my dog, but she's pretty butch, so I guess it works.)
8. "Daddy."  I feel compelled to include this, although personally, it grosses me out.  But this is not a value judgment, just a personal preference.  I say, if you're into it, awesome.  Go for it.
9. Something a little crass and objectifying, but not too crass, such as "hot ass" or "tender tits" or "butter hips."  Okay, maybe not "butter hips."
   
10. Something that's code between the two of you but sounds neutral to everyone else.  So you can say it in front of other people and make her blush, but no one else will know what you're talking about.  Combine this with #6 if you like.
