Babies are adorably round! If you have a baby sister who has an adorable round face, googly eyes, and a short and cute nose, “buttons” would be the best way to call your female sibling and show her your love.

4. Smarty

If you have watched the viral “smarty pants dance” clip, you know how cute that was! Whether your sister is older or younger, if she is smart and a quick learner, give the woman the credit that she deserves.

5. Sweetsu

Just another way of letting your sister know how adorable she is and how much you love her. Calling “sweetsu” to your sweet-natured sister who is kind to all will help you both bond better and be kind to each other.

6. Windster

Whether your sister is responsible for that smell or not, calling her out for it can be fun. And an apt but usual nickname would be Windster.

Sisters, especially the younger ones, are big-time copycats. While that’s a compliment to you, copying your fashion, hairstyle, and everything else can get to you sometimes. But guess what younger sisters do not like? Calling them a copycat! This way you will not only name the lady appropriately, but it can also discourage her from copying you.

8. Booger

Does your sister pick her nose too often? A funny nickname for your nose-picking sister would be “Booger”. Teasing her with this nickname will help you both have a little game of tag and laughter – just how siblings play-fight.

9. Geek

With her big glasses, always in the library, sleeping on an open book, and having answers to all your questions – your sister has all the signs of a geek. Nicknaming her “Geek” would therefore be apt for your sister.

You can also call your sister a nerd, dork, boffin, or techie instead of geek to appreciate her studious nature.

10. BB

A few sisters have all the good qualities any human being can have – a sharp brain and a compassionate heart. If your sister is one such soul, nickname her BB or beauty with brains. Your gorgeous dame sister deserves this cool name.

11. Couch Potato

Do you always find her on the couch in a sitting position? Well, she can work, read, or be productive, but making the couch her study and bedroom can be annoying. Instead of bickering, nickname your chick a couch potato. That’ll do the trick (wink!).

12. Brat

Younger sisters are often spoiled by their parents. They need attention all the time and want their demands met by hook or crook. If your sister is also spoiled, Brat is the perfect nickname for your broski.

13. Lilliput

Do you have a naughty baby sister who is a 24/7 goof? Or, a sister who is a tad too short compared to you and does all sorts of notorious activities to tease you and seek your attention? The nickname Lilliput is perfect for the sissy, who loves to be around you and has a ton of curiosity.

14. Plum

Do you have a sweet sister who is moody and gets upset a little too quickly? If your sis is sweet and sour, but you love and adore your sister for being so true to who she is, Plum will be an ideal nickname for the kin sister.

15. Genius

Use genius as a nickname for your sister

Is your sister extremely talented when it comes to studies or sports? Nickname her “Genius”. However, if your sister is just the opposite of a genius, calling her Genius can be a Chandler-like humorous move.

16. Nugget

Nugget is the perfect nickname for a loving sister who is super cute, a goof, and downright adorable. Whether you mean her to be a “nugget of joy” or an “adorable nugget”, it’s a cute name – just the one you are looking for your baby sister.

You can also call your sister nugget or nuggy if she loves to consume chicken nuggets anywhere and any time.

17. Pingu

Pingu is the name of a baby penguin in a hit stop-motion children’s show. Pingu is a cute nickname for sister but sounds clumsy. If you have a baby sister who is adorable but also wrecks a mess around the house, this nickname is perfect for her.

18. Smelly

Your sister may not smell or be smelly at all, but isn’t it fun to push her buttons by calling her smelly? Siblings bicker, and a cute way to do so is to poke fun, laugh, and be playful.

19. Diva
