Why is my boyfriend calling me babe constantly all of a sudden?

My boyfriend and I call each other honey, hun and baby. For some reason I just don't feel comfortable calling him babe or bae. I feel like its cringry/basic way of calling each other babe. Now all of a sudden he starts calling me babe and said we should start saying it more often. I just don't know where he came up with the idea of calling each other babe all of a sudden.
