"Hunny" makes me think of Winnie-the-Pooh. A pet name is a special nickname you choose for a particular person. Nobody can choose a special nickname for you. "You should call all your girlfriends Squeezypants, Omega." Doesn't that sound dumb?
I am used to hearing "sweatheart" as a condescending word. Usually a girl is referred to this when someone has attitude with her, and is talking down to her. So The times I hear it used in condescending context has soured me on the word.
And the other is too close to "Hon" which also sounds condescending. I have had people I worked with call me that, and it was annoying every time.
Not fond of my real name either. So a decent nickname is cool. lol But like some others have said. A name one girl likes, another would hate. So you'd have to check with the lady in question that you want to give an affectionate title to.
