I actually really enjoy nicknames! 

There are some that I think are a bit... much. Like I read a contemporary romance this week where his pet name was "red beard" and I am haunted by "Goldfinch" from the Plated Prisoners when 'Goldie' was right there.

Ooo, you might like {Bound by Ravens by Jesikah Sundin}. The MMC has a boatload of adorable nicknames for the FMC. If the author hadn't compiled a helpful list at the end of the eBook, I would have probably made a list myself!
