no- wrong way round, although 'hinny' would be acceptable when applied to a woman or a man, 'honey certainly wouldn't be an acceptable way to address a man unless you want a fat eye.

Looks like usage has changed from 200 years ago as the version in the Farne Archive is:

"To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey
Or scull him across the rough river to me" (italics mine)

In fact that set of words has "honey" throughout. Interesting.
