From what I've been taught, however, parents and older siblings say their given name plus -chan.
Honey = hachimitsu in Japanese, but they also use hanii, which is just their pronunciation of the English word.
Koishi is a term of endearment used like "beloved" in English (romantic love) Koishi is a noun.
Itoshii hito means loved one. Itoshii is an adverb meaning beloved, hito means one (person, in this case). I'm not sure on the complete use of it (i.e., whether a person using it is referring to their or another person's loved one.)
Darling has a loan-word version in Japanese, but it is used primarily, again, for a romantic interest
Daughter = musume
Son = musuko
Anyways, that's just a general idea. If I run into her, I'll ask one of the ladies who taught Japanese. She's living in the same apartment complex as me while she's doing her master's here in the states (she's from Tokyo). I'll see what else I can come up with if I bump into her.
