I usually call her 'gorgeous' or 'lovey/lovely', and occasionally 'peanut gallery' (when she starts to complain). Sometimes we also call her 'poop monster' , and, a few times a day she also gets to be called 'fuss bucket' or 'fuss ball'.
Sometimes DH calls her 'bright eyes' too

This is getting so super adorable up in here! I like ridiculous animal names, like "chunky monkey" or "my little pony."
My MIL told me to stop calling her animal names, and then in a creepy baby/ventriloquist voice held the baby and said, "I want to be a DOLL BABY, not a PONY."
WEIRD.

We used to call him Peanut, too. His name is Baron so we call him Baby Bear or just Bear. Sometimes I call him Baby Boy, Honey Bee, or B. DH calls him Booger and AhGoo. Once DH asked what his name was and he cooed ahgoo so it kind of stuck.
Greased pig. My husband, for whatever reason, put lotion in her hair one day, after I asked him to put lotion on her. She then started squawking like a piggy. It has kinda stuck. Her initials are AJ, so we call her that too. My sister calls her bird. I, usually, call her by her name or AJ. The greased pig is just a fun silly Nickname.

Hahaha!
We call her "little g" a lot and I tend to call her sweet pea or pretty lady.
My bro calls her bug and then will add different adjectives depending on the day...love bug, stink bug, lady bug, etc.
I have found myself putting 'Mister' before every name I call DS. So he's Mister Man, Mister Adorable, Mister Wigglesworth, Mister Fussypants, Mister Hungrypants, Mister Poopypants, Mister Pukeypants, Mister Cutiepants, etc...and sometimes he's just plain Mister. We call him Gare Bear or Baby Bear sometimes too.
DS is named Burke. I usually call him burkey or burkeyboo ... DH has been calling him Birkenstock but now that has turned into stocky or mr. Stock. Haha
We called her Peanut from the beginning, but in time that got shortened. To Peen. Yes, we call my daughter Peen. It stuck and now we can't stop!
I love this!
Munkin (cross between munchkin and monkey, I think) turned to Punkin (like pumpkin) I call him "Mister" alot. JackJack and Jacky too. My husband calls him "little boy" almost exclusive. It's sweet!
Fat Monkey and Mister Skins. Let me explain that last one. The day he was born, I started calling him Pumpkin, which turned into Pumpykins, which then evolved to Puppy Skins, then finally became Mister Skins. We're big on evolved nicknames around here.
Little Bear, Eyes (she wouldn't really open her eyes for the first month, so it was a big deal when you saw them), Fuss-pot, Oodly (my father's name for her. no idea, he's a crazy Welshman), Squiggles (again, my mother's name fore her. Crazy Welshwoman), Wiggle worm and her cousins call her Baby.
I have called him Bug since the day he was born and that has stuck. DH and I both call him that a lot.
Also Bubba, Buddy, Pal, Stinker, Sweet Boy, My Love. DH calls him Kimono Dragon (When he was really little his pjs were those gowns, which DH mistakenly called a kimono. Ever since he has called DS "my kimono dragon", which is super cute. He also always says, "my son", which is super endearing, too!
My sister calls him Nugget and my mom calls him Pumpkin.
We call her Evie for short, LilBit, and sassafras because she is so sassy! My Dad and Grandparents call her GG for her initials . My Mom and sister call her pumpkin seed bc her first ultrasound all there was, was a tiny little blob!

welll.... Her name is Jolene so I call her Jolee, and Jo alot. Also Baby Girl, Girl, Little Miss, Sweet Pea, Sweetie Pie and when I mix up the last too she turns into Sweetie Pea or Sweet Pie. And Grunty McGrunterson when she was real little she would grunt up a storm more than any baby I had ever heard. And I'm sure there are more but these are the latest haha.
