Choosing the Perfect Aunt Nickname

Download Article

1
Check with your aunt and family. Before calling your aunt by her nickname, be sure to get her approval, and do not assume that she’s cool with any name. Nicknames are supposed to be kind, affectionate, and thoughtful, and some quirky or “crazy” options could offend her.
- If your aunt doesn’t like her nickname, respect her wishes and don’t use it. You can always come up with something else, or ask her what she’d like to be called.
2
Consider your aunt’s age and personality. When it comes to inventing a nickname, you should reflect on your aunt’s hobbies, interests, traits, and age. Make a list of possible options, then slowly eliminate the ones that aren’t as cool or catchy. If your aunt is stylish, for example, you could call her “Glammy.” If she’s the life of the party, you could call her “Wildcat.” Have fun coming up with a name that’s just as unique as your aunt!
- If you need help, ask your loved ones for suggestions or use a nickname generator.
3
Choose a nickname that’s personal and easy to say. Nicknames should be short and snappy, so try to create one that rolls off the tongue easily. You should also pick a name that celebrates the role she plays in your life and reflects how much you love her. When in doubt, keep it short and sweet!
- Think of inside jokes or things you’ve done with your aunt. Specifying her nickname is a great way to deepen your bond and make her feel special!
