What are some cute, sweet, fun names that you have given to your baby that aren’t shortened names/actual nicknames? Such as, cuddle bug, little dove, bubs, or something that has a similar rhyme/style to your childs name, etc…

I nannied for two families over the summer and called the baby boy Charming (because he batted his sweet eyelashes constantly! he’s the most charming baby I’ve ever met) and the baby girl Love (she’s such a cuddle bug!).

DD1 gets Pixie a lot. It started as Pickle > Pix > Pixie, but Pixie definitely works as a term of endearment all by itself. Also Junebug or just Bug, linked to her name.
DS gets Kitten, Kitty or even Kitchen 
sometimes. Related to his name but also feel quite generic.
DD2 gets Noodle (from her name), Mini, Pippin/Pip/Pipkin (from Pipsqueak) or Poppin/Pops (from Poppet).

[name_f]My[/name_f] daughter is bunny or bun a lot of the time… Sometimes I worry strangers might think that’s her real name!

I was “Flipper” since I flipped around a lot in my mom’s womb and “Technicolor Baby” because of my coloring.
One of my friends used to call me Fitzwilliam “Fitzy” and I’ve gotten “Warm Cinnamon” because I’m ginger from a very sweet person herself when I was young. Also, my real name has been shoehorned into longer forms.

[name_f]My[/name_f] partner is my moonbug because they’re my little love Bug that I love to the moon and back, and I definitely think it could be applicable to my future babies 
As a child I was called Ladybug, my brother was Stink Bug, another brother was called [name_f]Sugar[/name_f] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] as an infant/toddler. I’ve called my dogs Sweet Potato/Tater, Hug [name_m]Bear[/name_m], Stinkerbell, and Miss Thing. [name_f]My[/name_f] partner & I refer to each other as “love” or “lovely,” and she’s called me Sunflower for a while.
I love reading all these! 
[name_f]My[/name_f] mom says [name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Bunny[/name_f], Pooh [name_m]Bear[/name_m], and [name_f]Princess[/name_f] for my family

I work in childcare and some terms of endearments that we use with the kids are Pickle, Monkey, Munchkin, [name_u]Pumpkin[/name_u], [name_m]Buddy[/name_m], [name_m]Bubba[/name_m], Bubbs and Bubby.
Oh and Little King.
And my mom is called Monkey by her family.
I like the idea of calling my own Mungbean, Mooncake, Pumpkin, Baobao, Bubbles, Cricket, and Pesto
[name_f]Rosebud[/name_f] is sooo cute!
It would actually be a good middle name, a true hidden gem
