HIGHLIGHTS: Someone analyzed tweets to find the top “pet name” couples in each state use more than other states. Most are common, like “sweetie” and “cutie.” But Nevada likes the word “hunk” . . . South Dakota likes the term “dearest” . . . and people in Alabama are calling each other “sweet cakes.”
FULL STORY: Do you have a cute nickname for your significant other? Someone analyzed tweets from all 50 states to find the one “pet name” couples in each state are using more than other states.
They didn’t include the MOST common ones, like “babe” and “honey.” Still, a lot of the ones on the list are pretty common, until you get to the end . . .
1. Cutie. Nine states use it more than average. (Arizona, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin)
2. Shorty. Eight states. (Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia)
3. Baby daddy. The five states that use it the most are Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
4. Bae. Five states: Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.
5. Boo. Four states: Alaska, Idaho, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.
6. Sweetie. Four states: Hawaii, Maine, Mississippi, and New Mexico.
7. Hubby. Four states: Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, and Vermont.
8. Wifey. Three states: California, Colorado, and Rhode Island.
9. Baby girl. It’s popular in Arkansas and Kansas.
10. Sugar daddy. People in New York and Montana use it the most. (I don’t really think of Montana as a sugar daddy state.)
11. And finally, the most unique nicknames that only had ONE state each: Nevada likes the word “hunk” . . . women in Wyoming are saying “my boy” . . . calling your husband or wife “dearest” is big in South Dakota . . . and Alabama likes the term “sweet cakes”.
