Miss CJ, ma'am may I please be excused.
I am an offender in this catagory . My name attachment of choice when dealing with people I know or younger people is darlin'.
And I would never use it in a professional setting.
While reading all the replies I was struck by several things.
I didn't realize how close I may have come to being slapped.
I don't really care to have anyone speaking to my boobs no matter what they call them.
I have pretty thick skin so I have never really paid attention to the pet names except that someone calling me "kiddo" kind of grates and any young thing that refers to me as ma'am on certain days may get a sneer.
Oh and when the serviceperson refers to my sweetie and me as "you guys". Hello, now you may notice the boobs.
And like another poster I have been called much, much worse so I guess the sugary names are kind of refreshing. 
All that said I will try to catch the darlin's before they slip out so I will stop offendin' ya'll.
