I use honey, dear, darling, baby...all the standards. But I like to call my husband "Pumpkin Butt" every once in a while. He hates it ;)

Well, I use quite a few, the most unusual one is 'pancake', I call my son 'pancake' because he was born on shrove Tuesday. I also use the terms 'sweetie, lovely, darlin' (not darling unless I'm being sarcastic), gorgeous and sexy bum, obviously most of those are what I call my other half, not my son. :)

I used to call my girlfiend my Angle Nurse because she must have been sent to me by God and she is studying to be a nurse so... Now it is just sweetie or baby cuz it is easier to say. I have a friend who used to say F**k You Iolo from time to time and whenever I would object and confront him about it he would say it was a term of endearment. I found this strange but then he is a little strange. *shrug

I always call my husband Honey or Hun. I am surprised I still remember his name. He always calls me Sweetness, I love that.

I use sweet pea, sweetie pie, sweetie for my daughter. I'm not sure what I call my husband is considered a "term of endearment". :)

I think 'Dear', 'My dear', 'Love' and 'darling' are the most common ones I use. Sometimes I catch myself saying 'honey', which I HATE! In some parts of the UK, though, it's common to hear 'love', 'dear', 'ducks' or 'duckie' used to complete strangers!

The only word I call my husband is honey. Sometimes I call him dad, a habit I got into from the kids but don't use it so much anymore. Just, Honey.
