What are some "pet" names used in Spanish for boyfriends?

Question

For example in English we use hun, sweetie, honey, etc. as "pet" names (nicknames) for our boyfriends/girlfriends. So we would say something like, "Good morning, Hun" or "I miss you sweetie" What terms do people use in Spanish when giving "pet" names to their boyfriend or girlfriend? Thanks!

Answer 1

amor, amorcito, papi,gordo,gordito,negro,bonbon,bonboncito.

There's plenty more, that's all that comes to mind right now. They also vary by country to some degree. And calling someone gordo or negro as a pet name does not carry the same negative conotation as in English.

Answer 2

Mi cariño/a = my darling maybe one example

Cariño is nuetral i.e. you say it to male or female and not cariña. - kenwilliams, Nov 22, 2011
