Pet names

Just Dear and Darling, though when I remember her name I use that

I don't use pet names as such, but generically, as Spec uses "dear", I use "pet". Leicester people tend to say "duckie", my Lincolnshire cousins say "me duck", and I believe up north they use "hen". What's the local equivalent where you live?

I'm from Yorkshire and will regularly use "love" quite regularly. I try not to to patients when at work but a few who I've seen regularly for years I do occasionally. 
I remember a customer in the pub I used to work in in Bristol complaining to the landlord that I'd called her "love" and how inappropriate it was. To his credit the land lord said "I'm sorry you were offended but he cant help it he's from yorkshire." Her reply will always make me smile. "Oh I didn't realise he is northern, that's fine!"
