I know this could be confusing for some people, but I’m sure the manufacturers know what they are doing. People like to speculate on different things when it comes to baby cribs, but the most important thing is the quality…

I’ve loved this post and all the comments. I’ve lived in the South for the past [almost] 25 years but it seems that my endearment vocabulary hasn’t been effected as much as I would have thougth. When my daughter was little my primary endearment for her was Angel Buttons – no idea where it came from, it just popped out and stuck. My son was Boy and a made up name that I don’t even know how to spell. Now, my grandchildren are [singularly] Love & Baby and many othes unique to the child or [collectively] The Amazing Ones & The Incrediible Ones. My husband and I use Honey, Sweetie, Babe and once in a great while Dear.

Growing up in Texas I heard a lot of “honey”, “darlin’”, “sweetheart” and “sugar”. I am a nurse, and I try not to, but when you have 10 surgical patients a night, sometimes endearments like “hon” or “doll” get used.

With my family and friends I use “sugar” and “sweetheart”. I call my husband “babe”. My daughter is “puddin’” (no g), or “sunshine”. My nephew is ” baby boy” or “angel face”. He hates “angel face” so I try not to call him that often.

For some reason I’ve never understood we use endearments a lot more in the South.

Darling, Honey for partners. Also Gorgeous, or Hey Gorgeous. And my parents picked up Mein Schatz (my treasure) from Germany in the 1960s for partners and I’m not sure where they picked up babykinsa or bubbakinsa for children but I suspect it may have something to do with Kinder, the German for children. Also Big Ears and Giggling Gurtie for children.

Hi! I’m from Costa Rica and we use:

Mi cielo (My heaven), Mi vida (My life), Mi amor (My love)
My father used to call my daugthers “little dolls” (munequitas). And my family use “bebecito/bebecita” for the newborns.
My husband called me “chiquilla” when we started to date, so I always melt when I read the hero call his heroine “little one”

In reference to an “Everybody Loves Raymond” episode that had us both in tears with laughter, my husband and I call each other Jelly Cheeks and Banjo Pants. It is a combination of endearment and sarcasm. I call my boys all kinds of names all the time like sweetness or cutie, but they were both huge babies, so I mostly call them Bubba.

Here in the UK I’ve also heard “petal” and “flower” as terms of endearment for ladies. My husband calls me “Mrs S” and I call him “Mr S” and he sometimes calls me “wifey”. The cats (females) get called “fairy princess” or “sweetness and light”. Or “you bloody furball” when naughty.
