I'm southern so:

Sweetie, sugar, honey, baby girl or baby boy, honey child, sweetie pie, 'darlin' for a girl, munchkin, hercules -boy, princess-girl, curtain climber, rug rat....I could go on but this is enough. They all have the right time or place...some people don't use these phrases unless they know the child really well.

honey? that's all that comes to mind. just a nickname is sort of endearing, i think. that's if their name can be made into one...my name is sarah, so i never had any really. (lol the occaisonal sar-bear has happened though)

I call my kids, punkin, sweetie pie, sweet cheeks, munchkin, and basically anything cute that comes to mind at that very moment no matter how silly it sounds. They laugh all the time at the cute little names that come out of my mouth. :)

usually it depends on the relationship between the adult and the child. choose one that feels right for both of you

i have nicknames for my grandkids, and i also use

sweetie, honey, baby girl or baby boy, cookie monster, creepy critter or creepy critteritte,girlfriend, giggles.........

Baby?

For ones own child, my darling child.

sweet pea, pumpkin pie, honeybuns, sweetie, honey, boogie, punky. I can go on and on.

my love
