Not for animals though 
I mean, do you like being called 'cutesy' names like cupcake or babe or kitten or something?

No I hate being called "cutesy" names.
I'll put up with being called Love or Duck by people cos that's just common for people to call you them round here. I call people Love sometimes when talking to them. But babe, cupcake, kitten, dear etc make me cringe.
Though Zorak does call me moose when I do something stupid so I suppose that's a pet name. I think it came about from me saying I thought mooses went moo like a cow.

Haha, I don't like people calling me babe or honey or hun, I don't think I even like hearing others say it lol. I don't think I have ever vocally called someone baby, babe, honey, darl or anything like that. I think I sound like an idiot when I say it, it's just not me. But many times I've allowed others to call me other names besides those above.
I hate the nickname boo the most. Pretty much all the chavs on facebook call their boyfriends boo and a few have asked me "how are things with my boo." I could never call Zorak boo. It just reminds me too much of the furryboo from Tots Tv.
I can't say them either unless I'm saying them in a stupid voice to tease someone.
I've only had one guy call me babe on a regular basis and I've never even dated him. When I met him like 6 years ago and he asked me straight away if he could call me babe and I said no. But still he calls me babe and now I'm just so used to it, I don't mind it.

Haha, I hate the name boo too. When I first heard it I was like "What the? What's a boo?" lol.
This thread just reminded me of some movie scene hahaha.

Boo is a stupid way of saying Beau. Beau is such a nice looking word so why change it to Boo. It means boyfriend/girlfriend.
I just settle for being called "Great shag" and have done with it.
I'm not the lovey-dovey type as you can see.

I don't really have a problem with it, so long as i can call them one back 
Are you talking a significant other or a stranger?
Simmer down, Treacle, it's not the end of the world.
Significant others, Fred 
My wife and I use several. She knows when she hears, "Yes, Dear" she has struck a chord. :24:
Recently, "doll, gorgeous and babe" (not all at once, though).
"Yes Dear" makes my blood boil:ninja I know it's not sincere...
Jim calls me sweets. Always has.
And I am forever calling people honey, dear, sweetie etc... I don't have a pet name for Jim.. unless Jerk has become a pet name.:willy_nilly:
I never had any of that i know .. now if someone call me something but not in front of me who knows
Does she swat at you when you say it? Jim gets a love tap as my gran used to call them.so does my wife. that is my sarcastic response.
She has been known to throw things at me.
Oh a woman after my own heart..... Are you good a ducking/ dodging?
