'hinny' despite posts to the contrary, is a corruption of 'honey' but used in a non-gender specific way. 'Bonny lad' isn't a reference to the recipient's attractiveness. Both are colloquialisms.See my earlier reference to Bill Griffiths' book or visit the Central Library (for those with access to Newcastle on Tyne) where myriad references books are available.
