For folk with OCs in romantic relationships, do your couples have pet names for each other? What are they? :D

The default for my characters tends to be bunny, but I'm a fan of a good ol' "my love" for my more chivalrous characters.

For Keith and ash it’s mostly Ash calling Keith whatever name he l thinks of when he looks at him
Mostly Sweet pea, baby doll, sweet thing
Keith just calls Ash love or baby


I haven’t really thought about my other OCs since their relationships don’t effect the story as much but now I kinda want to
I was actually thinking about giving them multiple pet names they would use depending on the mood and situation
Andol would call Hamza
-Big guy
-Big kitty
-kitten
He calls him kitten or big kitty when he's more shy, but would call him Big guy when he talks about him to others

Hamza is not really one who uses pet names, but he would try to use a few to make Andol happy.
He would call him "tiny bird" when he's feeling confident, both referencing his family (the Nachtribelle family is also called "The Nightingales") and how small he is compared to him lol
My Spanish takes over so it’s usually the basic names like “Amor” “Mi vida” “Cariño”, simple nicknames from their names, and oc things that represent their partners like “Snakelet” “Darling” “Cherry” “Red” “Doll” “Blue”
Soren calls wisp ready bear. Wisp calls Soren idiot
Darren calls Mario "Mari" sometimes and Mario calls him "Dee" or "hun" though.
Ankoku has quite a few for their husband. They typically call him Ai, dārin, Suke (which is just a shortened version of his name) but i like to think that if Ankoku is left alone and is missing being around Zensuke that they’ll just start coming up with a lot of unnecessary pet names that a lot of the time doesn’t even make sense:,)
I have several, but I like to say I have two opposite poles. Bey calls Nanosh as honey and miś (teddy bear), and he calls her as ma'bee or honey bee. on the other hand we have Eros and Corey that literally call each other as bitch, whore, and several slurs more to then hug and cuddle the whole day (they do it with love, no hate)
Bernadine’s wife calls her “dear” or “Bernie”, a platonic friend calls her “Bunny” (for her long ears).
kinda? they do occasionally call each other "honey", but most of the time they call each other by their names. why? because i'm too shy to imagine them calling their pet names
One of my OCs husband calls her flower.
