I'm looking for stuff that are better than the standard "babe", "baby girl", "Doll". Or is it better not to use them at all?

We’re 19F and 22M, so on the younger side. I’m used to babe/baby a lot in my previous relationships, but we’ve grown to use other terms of endearment. My heart melted after I learned that he prefers to use classic terms like ‘sweetie’ since my previous boyfriend was the first to use such cute pet names. I’m curious to know what everyone uses on a daily basis and your ages.
nicknames are powerful. instantly builds both banter and rapport, and separates us from the crowd because it makes her feel special.
what are your go-to nicknames to call a girl? or any reading that has a list of playful names?
EDIT: The best ones are specific to the interaction, but looking to improve my arsenal for when there's no obvious nickname from the situation.
I have a few that I use for my girlfriend and I was wondering what kind of nicknames y'all use (besides the common baby/babe/sweetheart/etc.)
For example the ones I call my girlfriend are: Kitten, LanaCat, Harlequin, my good girl, my brat, my dork. Those are some of the frequent ones I use.
What do y'all call your s/o? I'm curious to see how unique or similar we all are 😊
Half Scottish and refuses to be nicknamed after a delicate flower? Yeah she's my Thistle :3
I call my wife a gremlin, goblin, and bog witch. She loves it, I swear I'm not insulting her. I think I tried a sweet pet name with her and she was taken aback and offended before calling herself my little gremlin.
I usually stick with the classic "Honey Buns".
What pet names do guys like to be called? The person I’m talking to is always calling me sweetheart, baby girl, etc. but I never know what pet names guys like and anything I think of makes me cringe, but I am an awkward shy person so it could just be me lol
