Brits prefer nicknames
More than half of young people prefer being referred to by a nickname. Modern Brits have an average of three pet names and 56% of Gen Z admitted they prefer them to their real name, with 42% saying nicknames make them feel happy and 39% more loved when they are called by a different moniker. And a huge 93% of those surveyed believe nicknames are a way of showing affection. But the study of under 30s from Coca-Cola found pet name usage has changed over time, with Gen Z insisting they would never use the likes of 'treacle' (38%), 'snookums' (37%) , 'chick' (35%) , 'sugar' (31%), 'old man' (30%), or 'hon' (29%). Instead, 'bro' (53%), 'mate' (44%), and 'bestie' (35%) are the most popular terms of endearment with the younger generation, while other modern nicknames in the top 20 include "bae" (28%), king (12%0, and shawty (11%). Charlotte Butt, Senior Marketing Manager from Coca-Cola, said: 'Nicknames are more than just labels; they're a shorthand for shared history, inside jokes and personal connections. "They reflect the unique relationships between individuals and the evolution of language within friendship groups, that's why we made sure to include terms of affection in our 'Share a Coke' range.' To mark the findings, Coca-Cola have brought back 'Share a Coke', with the option for customers to create a can with any name of their choice by simply scanning the QR code on pack or instore from May 15th, to create a truly unique Coca-Cola pack. And for the first time, Brits will be able to choose from a range of other nicknames and phrases around friendship, such as 'My Bestie', 'My Bae', 'My Mate', 'My Fam' and 'My Day One'. Look for personalised Coca-Cola packs in store now.
