Nicknames showcase your immense love for your baby.
Nicknames are the way you can really call your baby among families and not make them feel embarrassed. Nicknames can be based on your baby's nature, favorite color, song, fruit, even your baby's favorite show.
Despite having a first name, most people have second names, also known as a nickname given by their loved and dear ones. They are a substitute for the name of a person, mainly used to show love and affection for that person by their near and dear ones. A nickname or a pet name literally means "additional name". It can be a shortened or modified name of the baby's first name can be a completely different name. Sometimes a nickname can act as a term of endearment and can show the relationship with the person. It underlines the relationship between you and your baby.
Unlike the baby's first name, the nickname doesn't necessarily have to be very meaningful or serious. They can be fun and creative; it can be something just for the two of you, you and your baby. Choosing a pet name for your little baby isn't really hard; anything which comes to your mind out of love could be your baby's nickname. Your newborn baby is the newest light of your life, and to mark the love that the two of you share, here is a list of nicknames to help you brainstorm and choose the perfect pet name for your little one.
