Default Lovey-Dovey in Dominican

Here in America, we use terms like "honey-bunch", "cupcake", and "sweetie" when speaking lovey-dovey to our special love. What are common lovey-dovey names used in the DR?

Actually, Anna, it's usually amor mio, not amada mia (never heard anyone use the latter, that I recall).

Actually, I say amada mia ALL the time.

I also love the Cheo Felicianos' song; "Amada Mia".

I would hope that no one has ever called you "amada mia".

I think it sounds better said to a women than saying, "amado mio" in a man's case, yes " mi amor or amor mio does sound better when speaking to a man.

I always find it funny how such florid language is common place in Spanish but sounds strange in English.

"My beloved, bring me a beer."
"Yes my king, bud or bud light."
