Girls! Guys! What "nicknames" do you have for your SO?

Question

In relationships, people tend to call their signifigant others cutsy names like "honey", "babe", or "sweetheart". These names could indicate different things- "sweetie" gives one impression, while "baby" gives another.

What do you guys call your SO (or what do they call you), and why? Do you refrain from using certain nicknames? What impression do you get from using different nicknames and why?

I won't judge; I'm open to all opinions, likes and dislikes :)

In casual conversation, she is babe or baby. When I want to call her name and have every syllable reverberate with love, she is Belle. As I've said in previous post, I'm about as attractive as a dump truck, but she really is beautiful (people always look dumbstruck when they realize we're together. It's very funny), so coworkers started calling us beauty (complimentary- guys at the office think she's hot) and the beast (derogatory-I'm ugly and I'm kind of a dick at work. Very much the asshole that yells a lot and has unreasonable standards/expectations. I don't have many fans outside of the people work directly with me) behind our backs. Well it just so happens that her favorite movie is... Beauty and the Beast. Well one day at work, she came to my office to grab her lunch and as she walked away I yelled "I love you, Belle". I hadn't intended to call her that, but it's what passed my lips. The adjacent bull pin went silent as my detractors thought I had figured out their secret code names. She yelled back "I love you too, Beast". Afterwards, one of my peers filled me in on the relevance of what had just occurred and I couldn't help but laugh my ass off (then I terrorized the little bastards for being so cheeky). The names have stuck ever since.

I call my boyfriend honeybee, angel boy, sunflower boy, honeydew, and a lot of the common pet names! I only call him dear when I'm upset at him, which isn't too often, but 😂😂 I do that because when my grandparents are upset with each other, the refer to one another as dear, so they know that one or both of them is upset! (And they talk about what upset them, as well!)

He calls me his bumble bee, baby girl, sunflower seed (I have no idea where that one came from), princess, sunflower gal, and a few other ones!

He mostly calls me beautiful. He uses it in the most caring and sincere way, too. "Are you okay, beautiful?" "Can I have your hand, beautiful?" It always makes me smile. He'll also call me sugar cookie or sugar muffin or something of that nature xD Or he'll try to be cool and call me babe or baby, when in reality it doesn't work and he knows it. He's just not that kind of person lol
I normally call him handsome, snugglekins, sweetheart or sweetie. Sometimes, I'll call him beautiful just to goof around haha.

I call him dear or love most of the time, on rare occasions sweetheart or dearest. He calls me dear pretty much exclusively, though if he's trying to irritate me a little he'll call me princess or kitten because he knows that the too cutesy ones annoy me :PI like the nicknames, I think they're kinda classic and sincere.

I'm not really one for nicknames. And I don't really have an SO either :/ . I'd rather call her something meaningful when it pops up in my head instead of with a nickname in a routine.
