MOST of us have a pet name for that someone special in our lives, so we decided to reveal what you are really saying by tagging your beau 'Honey Pie' or 'Babes'. We've unravelled the true meaning of 'Monkeyboy', 'Bunnykins' and all the other monikers that are best kept to the bedroom..

Baby Names

Babes, baby...

Anyone who gives their partner a name like this is saying what they believe in their subconscious - that they can look after you. It's a 'you're my baby, and I can look after you' thing. People who give these names love physical closeness, and they aren't embarrassed to be playful. The person who gives the name is definitely in the driving seat in this relationship. Baby names can go both ways - you could be calling him 'baby' or he could be calling you that. In bed, the one who gives the name is most likely to be gentle and considerate, but if they want something, they might really try to persuade the other towards it.

Worship Names

Princess, gorgeous, goddess...

He obviously adores you, and holds you in high esteem. He's loyal and devoted and has a strong romantic streak. He's also egoless in the love stakes, and your happiness is the most important thing in the world to him. Basically, he worships at your feet. If he calls you one of these, it also means he's going to concentrate more on pleasing you in bed, doing things that you are not only comfortable with but also that you enjoy.

Animal Names

Tiger, monkeybuns...

You're in touch with your animalistic nature and you probably have an extrovert, erotic personality and maybe even an exhibitionist streak. You like it rough. These display strength and you call someone one of them because you feel really great about your relationship. Your sex life will be playful and innovative, with large helpings of passion. Sporty in nature, you'll never have a dull moment; you and your partner will find new ways and new places all the time.

Fluffy Animal Names

Bunnykins, kitten...

You're probably more introverted than a person who dishes out 'Tiger' nicknames, and have a gentle, romantic nature. You love being physically close to your partner and express your love passionately with few words. But, there may be a chance you feel slightly inferior to your partner: These names are usually given by someone who feels at a disadvantage. Maybe they're overweight, or older than their other half.

Sexy Names

Horny devil, big boy...

You are no doubt an extrovert with a playful, exhibitionist side. You have an outgoing, erotic personality with a strong ego and stronger libido. You're open to exploration on all fronts. You know what you want and you go for it. These are proud and personal expressions that are supposed to be a secret between lovers.

Food Names

Honey, sweet, sugarpuff...

You like merging food and sex -strawberries and massage oil would be your idea of a great evening in! This sort of name suggests you'd like to eat your lover and consume him with passion. The sweeter the pet name, the sweeter your romantic nature. Food names are fun and joyful. People even give them to pets!
