St. Valentine's Day : different ways to address your partner in English

From : http://bestmessage.info/happy-valentines-day-2017/
Hello,
Next week is deemed to be the most romantic week of the year : bouquets of flowers, boxes of chocolates, romantic dinners,..Cupid is on the loose with his well-directed arrows. Are you lucky to have a significant other for next Tuesday ?
Well, I thought it might be a good idea to create a post with St. Valentine's vocabulary, you know, just for the sake of learning English. So let's begin :
1. Honey /  hon / hun : This probably makes reference to the sweetness of love or, for others, to the sickeningly sweet love.

Well, at last I finished  this cheesy and lengthy post. How are you gonna spend your St. Valentine's Day  ? Do you use other 'nicknames' to address your partner that you'd like to share with us ? Anyway, if you don't have a partner yet, be patient. If you do, remember you must prove your love daily and not just on one single day. 

Have a nice St. Valentine's Day.
