And do you have a link to a good translator online for your language? (The link is for one that does Swedish-english and a few others) http://lexin.nada.kth.se/sve-eng.html
In Sweden we say: "Ett kärt barn har många namn" = A loved child has many names
Here's a few in Swedish that are used a lot
Lilla hjärtat (Little heart)
Gullesnutt (Cutiepie)
älskling (darling)
Thanx for sharing and have a great day :)

In Italian we have some funny but lovely names:
bimbo (little child)
bello (gorgeous)
stella (star)
piccolo (little)
grande / campione (big man or woman / champion: these are used especially for those kids who think they're adults when they're just like 4 years old!)
Sometimes mothers take the first/last 3 to 5 letters of their kids and add an "INO" (it makes the name a diminutive, with the sense of "little"). Like, my name's Bernardo, and some called me DINO (DO + INO). PAOLA becomes LINA (or mostly PAOLINA, taking the full name). Then it comes to cartoons: if the kids like cartoons such as Ninja Turtles or Pokemon, it's funny to see mothers calling their kids "Ninja" or even by a Pokemon in that cartoon! Just to show some affection!

In English I have heard:
sweet pea - (little one)
cutie pie , or sweetie pie ( cute little girl)
buttercup ( little yellow sweet flower) From back in the grandparents day.
my angel ( a gift of love from heaven)
I chose to call my daughter "sweet pea" when she was very young.
