I call my kids "Kiddo" from time to time.
I also hate the "Honey', 'Sweetie' etc. you hear in public from customers or workers. I don't mind the "Sweetie" from someone who is older than me, but from someone who is young enough to be my child or even grandchild! NOT.
I wear a name tag when I'm working so they could call me by my name. And those that do, or already know my name will call me Ms. Phyllis, not just Phyllis. I like that.
