Answer 3

Hola ejs385

I think that it has to do with the [apelativo cariñoso] which denotes something special, dear, or darling too.

In which case the daughter becomes age specific. As daddy’s baby girl she would be: “la neñita de papá”. As an older girl she would become: “la hijita de papá”. I’ve even heard some refered to as “la cariña de papá”…like, daddys darling little girl.

Hope this helps. There are 19 Spanish speaking countries…many having there own “coloquialismos”. This is mostly speculative...just listening to the Spanish native speakers.
