The suffix is normally "-ciğim". and it can be used for everyone, like you asked: Mehmetciğim

By the way, it depends on the last vowel and consonant, as almost all suffixes in Turkish...

Burcucuğum
Ahmetçiğim
Uğurcuğum
Yasinciğim
Özgürcüğüm


While you are talking, it comes fast, so you hear just "cım,cim,cum,cüm", but don't use them while you are writing:
Burcucum
Ahmetcim << i am not sure maybe also -çim "Ahmetçiğim" << "Ahmetçim"
Uğurcum
Yasincim
Özgürcüm


All are for close friends or relatives that you call their names.

Or if you want to call for mom and the other relatives that you dont call their names:
anneciğim
babacığım
abiciğim
ablacığım
dedeciğim
amcacığım
teyzeciğim
halacığım
dayıcığım
yengeciğim...

Rica ederim but you should write:
memnun oldum
and you dont need to emphasize "ben"

Kolay gelsin

Just came over this topic.

As far as my grammatical knowledge is concerned, the suffix at stake here is '-cek' + the 1st pers suffix -im suffix. Hereby the 'k' changes into the 'yumusak ge', forming the '-cegim'.

The suffic -cek is normally used to address things or persons informally as for example:

bebe = baby

bebecek = cute/beloved baby

begecegim = my beloved/ baby of mine

yes, you could say "anneciğim" to your mum for example, it's a diminutive and has a sweeter sound.
