There are some, very limited, situations were it would be, but if it's just being used as an endearment, no, I don't think so. A situation where it might be is if the character's name had "Dar" in it, such as Darla, and someone was making it a longer name for some reason. I actually have a character who is named Darling, but that's his name, so it's not an alias (that would be Dar, which is what everyone other than his mom, and eventually his wife, call him). Another time it might be is if someone where calling them something sarcastically, like "That Darling girl really thinks she's something," though that is probably a bad example.
