I'm not sure there's anyone in this world who loves someone as much as Parks and Recreation [1]'s Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) loves Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) [2]. These two best pals are there for each other on the show [3] through questionable relationships, questionable hairstyles, weddings, babies, and everything in between. Along the way, Leslie bestows beautiful Ann with a large number of nicknames, generally focusing on some sort of sea life and always calling her beautiful. We could all use a best friend like Leslie in our lives. I pulled together 15 of my favourite nicknames Leslie calls Ann and ranked them, though to be honest, I love them all.
