I do think however that pet names have a much wider variety. Angel is used quite often but for all the repetive one i think there is about an equal number of unique ones. My mistress, has quite a few names for me. The degrading one is slut which is used a lot. But her pet names for me are shmoopy or pookie. i dont know for sure...but i do not think those pet names are extremely common.
