Heh! You should hang around our apartment to pick up some choice terms of endearment. Here are a couple:
Tatlım = my sweet, sweetie, sweetheart
Bitanem (bir tanem) = my one and only
Aşkım = my love
Finally, Meltem likes "sevdiceğim," a term used a lot in romantic old Turkish movies. I think "my beloved" captures the sense of it.
