Hi!

I have a fierce fondness for a good pet name/term of endearment, I'm not sure when or why it happened but I'm truly just calling anyone and everyone love or pet. I have a friend who's now calling people love and she blames me completely for it.

I'd love to know what common pet names are in other languages/cultures, whether that's platonic or romantic?

I'll give my own example first: 'Quine'

I'm from a part of Scotland with its own dialect and quine literally just means girl but it's also used as a term of endearment. My friends and I often call eachother 'quine' in conversation. My grandparents called me quine. I just love it!

I wanna collect all the pet names possible, whether I use them or not is up for debate but still.. I want to know!!
