We have been often told that nobody has anger issues more than short people. Sometimes we see them play out certain behaviors that may emphasize this point but really we most times just push their little buttons a little too much.
Short people are actually at some great advantages if we take the time to do research. According to a post by huffpost.com, short people were said to be at lower risks of having certain types of cancers, blood clots, and stressful life in general. Well, especially if people stop picking on them.
Additionally, they are considered better distance runners and could live longer than tall people. Physically, short statures could denote physical advantages such as stronger muscles and greater endurance.
Seeing these, you may think twice before considering yourself of greater importance because of your height. Therefore, you may also want to change that demeaning name you have for your short colleague, friend, or sibling.
We will help you with a few cute nicknames you can call them that won’t make them want to break your jaw or legs which would be easier to get to.
Nicknames we know have different origins and uses. It could be used in place of someone’s original name, as a short form of a name of a joke/depiction of their personality.
Here Are Few Exciting Nicknames For Short People
1. Baby
Not only is this a cute nickname for someone you dearly love, it can also be used if the person is small. When you talk about killing two birds with a stone, this ‘baby’ stone comes in very handy. You’re calling him/her by a sweet pet name while also referring to their small stature.
2. Smart Charlie
This works perfectly, especially for guys who are very smart. They won’t see a disrespect here but deep down, you are also stating the fact that they are quite short.
A ‘Smart Charlie’ would pick up on the compliment and most likely get drowned by it.
3. Shrimpy
This is befitting a small and cute person. Gotten from ‘Shrimp’ which is loved by so many seafood lovers. Calling someone short this name could be one of the sweetest show of love you could exhibit. Add a little cute tone to it and we have a blushing and happy short person.
4. Sky Rider
This is a fun name, especially for someone who loves to have adventures. There is a variation known as ‘low rider’ but this ‘sky rider’ is better fitting as it better carries the idea of a fun and adventurous person.
5. Micro-me
How else to indicate that you think their height is cute and you have no qualms with it? This suits a younger one or close friend with whom you share a lot in common.
6. Barbie
We all know the Barbie doll and what she represents. For a girl who is very pretty like the doll, this nickname would definitely be a pleasant one, welcomed wholeheartedly. Every girl loves to feel pretty and called that too especially the short ones whose height may have prompted disheartening experiences.
7. Squeak
This one is not just cute, it is funny and whenever it is called, it’ll most likely provoke laughter even from the bearer. You could call him or her ‘Squeak’ or ‘pipsqueak’. Either ways, it is a cute name to give a friend.
8. Bug
‘Love Bug’ sounds cute right? Need I say more? We know what bugs are and we also know the sizes of bugs and we know there are cute bugs. Look at the ladybug, for example, she is a little dotted bug but still very cute nonetheless. ‘Bug’ is such a cute and special nickname.
9. Munchkin
Like the Lollipop Guild from the ‘Wizard of Oz’, a Munchkin is someone who has short height. The name is cute and fun but mostly cute. I have never come across someone called Munchkin who protested.

10. Shortcake
Whether referring to the snack or the cartoon character ‘Strawberry Shortcake (1970s cartoon), the name is sweet! Cakes are sweet and often used for fun activities. Shortcakes as humans are mostly fun and sweet little humans.
11. Shawty
This is a cuter variation of the name ‘Shorty’. Not only is it cuter, it also prevents attacks that may come from the one being called that. We know short people don’t particularly like being reminded of their height but try ‘shawty’ and you would be let off the hook easily.
12. Smallie/Smalls
Well, you are small after all, right? Instead of just calling you short, I’m sure you’d prefer being called ‘smallie’ or ‘smalls’. From the pronunciation, you can tell how cute the names sound.
13. Pumpkin
Pumpkins are short and round and so when referring to a short and plump person, this name fits perfectly. Not only is it relatable, it also sounds cute and less disrespectful. It is an awesome nickname for a boyfriend or girlfriend who fits the bill.
14. Prototype
Prototypes are smaller than the originals. Just like ‘Micro-me’ this may refer to someone who shares similar characteristics with you or someone. However, the cute nickname has often been used for girlfriends by their boyfriends. It could be a cute indication that she is a prototype of her mum or dad.
15. Tyrion Lannister
Lovers of the series ‘Game of Thrones’ would understand this nickname very well knowing full well who Tyrion from the series look like. The name is a funny nickname and would most likely instigate bouts of laughter when called.
