What does it mean when your boyfriend doesn't like any nickname you give him?

What does it mean when your boyfriend doesn't like any nickname you give him? We have a long distance relationship, and towards the beginning he gave me the nickname Teddy bear because he thinks I'm cute and cuddly. By the way, we knew each other in person awhile ago(but we weren't friends. I hung out with his ex girlfriend, so he gave me rides), he just decided to move out of state last year or so and now we're dating(for about a month now). Every time I suggest a nickname, he rejects it by either chuckling, or just saying no flat out. I asked him why he doesn't like them and he said they're just funny. I asked why, and he said they just are. I don't really know what to do. He's my first boyfriend, but I'm definitely not his first girlfriend. Is it just something I'm not getting? I don't really want it to be a cute one. I think nicknames like Boo Baby, or Cuddle Bunch are stupid. I don't want it to sound like we just walked out of Build-a-bear workshop. So my suggestions were Loverboy, Handsome, Mr. H, Pretty Boy, etc. He rejects them all. It's been suggested by a friend that maybe he doesn't really like me(he says he loves me). I'm always so confused. And he's always on my mind. If he doesn't like me, then why would he stick around? It's not like I can ';give him any';. Oh, I can't forget. He gave an opinion, his suggestion for a nickname was one a friend of mine used for her ex. So you can see why I don't want to use it. I'm confused as to what to do. Whenever I try to think of a nickname that suits him, I just end up thinking about how little I know him. I figured seeing him would help(I saw him recently), but nothing came. Help? What can I nickname him that he'd actually agree to? I hate feeling rejected like this. And please don't say to talk to him about it, because I have.What does it mean when your boyfriend doesn't like any nickname you give him?
Nicknames come in time. Dont sweat it. The best ones come along when you least expect them.

It doesn't mean anything, my ex used to call be '; loser'; and for some reason she thought it was cute, I hated it. but, it didn't change my feelings for her in anyway.
I think maybe he finds nicknames embarrassing and unless some other guy used it before he would feel like a idiot.


Try not giving him a nickname right now..take some time once you are together longer a nickname will just come up if you really need one..
for me this mean two things it's either he thinks he's a jerk when u call him that, maybe he's shy OR he just doesnt care about u calling him nicknames ... ;D my opinion ;D
means he thinks the names you come up with are lame.


don't worry so much.
Might he just isn't into nick names?
It means stop calling him that. call him his name.
it means he doesn't like the nicknames you give him...


hahaha


Peachy and Angel :]
maybe he's not an affectionate dude (maybe he just doesnt want a nickname)
Hes probably just not a nickname kind of guy. Im sure he just likes being called by his real name. My boyfriends the same way, but I call him random weird things anyway, mainly for the sake of hearing him laugh. Goober is my favorite. lol Just stop stressing over the small stuff. Appreciate the fact that he laughs about the silly names you call him rather than getting mad at you like some guys would.
It means that he does'nt like the nick name ....simple , it does not mean that since you are his girl friend , it entitles you to give him any nick name and it becomes his obligation to ...... like it , he is an equal individual and must be respected for that ..... find a nick name together with him --- or ----- pick up a couple and ask him which one he likes ?
If he doesn't like them, then he doesn't like them. Maybe he doesn't want a cutesy nick name, seeing as guys tend to want a more manly nickname to up their egos. Just keep trying. I always call my boyfriend things like 'cutie' or 'sweetie pie', but when it's a public matter it's obvious guys don't want to be called a cutie in front of their friends.


Keep trying :)
Leave him out of state relationship's is a pain in the *** you need better and if he is chuckling everytime you try and give him a nickname he has a girl that prolly said the samething you did he did give you a nickname first he is a player trust im a guy.
It means he likes his name and feels demeaned by having one. I do not like to be called boo or Teddy Bear or anything of that nature. Doesnt mean he cares about you any less.


For me nick names are about belonging to a particular group, I am in the army and am known as Captain American. Its a masculinity thing. I imagine he feels the same way.
