Just wondering what terms they use here. Meinv is kinda generic. What else do they often use?

I like Ho Ho or Hoe Hoe,,maybe Hoe for short,,,, so many have cute names like Chen Chen, Lee Lee, Yang Yang
usually, what boys do is use the girlfriends name twice. If a girl is calle Yu Chen, then she will often be addressed as Chen Chen, Liu Cong will be Cong Cong, etc.
As to having an equivalent to "Darling" or "Honey" I will need to ask around.
亲爱的（qin ai de)... i think it would translate to something like "darling"
I agree on repeating a word twice. Names such as Bu Bu, CoCo, and actually TaiTai means wife so that can also be used.
i think "Darling" or "Honey" is better, as you can call any girlfriend "darling", it is difficult to make a mistake if you have many girlfeiends.
My GF asked me to call her "Sweetie", she likes that. I used to call her Yin Yin (Rose Rose) but she claims I misspronounce it so badly she has no idea what I am saying.
And the reverse, when she is in a good mood and maybe wants something, she will call me "honey". When she is upset at me she calls me "stupid".
My girlfriend calls me 小宝贝儿(xiao baobei), vice-versa. Cute as hell.
