OK so I am (sort of) working on a music recs list because of halley. She asked me to rec her a song, which I duly did, but since then I have been thinking about others because I cannot just rec one.

But what I am posting for is that I'm asking for German terms of endearment, please, if you know any? (Because yeah, internet, but given I am friends with at least two Germans, I'd rather trust you guys :) ) Thanks in advance, and acknowledgements of help will be given (unless you prefer to remain anonymous, of course).

(diminutives in brackets, apologies for not translating but I am lazy today - doesn't mean you mustn't ask questions tho)

Schatz (Schatzi, Schatzilein/Schatzelein) - this is by far the most popular
Maus (Mausi)
Liebchen (already a diminutive)
Liebling
Hase (Hasi)
Schnecke
Schnuckel (Schnucki)
Bär (Bärchen/Bärli)
Sonnenschein
Herzchen (already a diminutive)

Aw thanks, this is awesome! No worries about translations, I have a German-English dictionary :)

I remembered after I'd posted that I knew Schatz, because if anyone got annoyed at work, my ex-boss used to (without fail) say, "Was ist los, mein Schatz?" I heard it the most, probably (because I got annoyed the most), and thought afterwards that maybe he should've saved the last two words for when he was addressing his wife, ya know?
(I know that sounds randomly weird, but he was ex-army, and he was stationed in Germany for a long time, so tended to lapse into German occasionally. OK, no, that is kind of weird).

These are perfect, thank you so much :)
