First of all, I presume you mean Irish-Gaelic; there is more than one Gaelic language. Secondly, is it meant to be in the vocative case (i.e. addressing or calling a person)? That would affect how it would be translated.

But as a term of endearment, a stór doesn't indicate gender though, does it (i.e. it could be used to address a girl or a boy, like my darling)?

Baineadh úsáid as "a stór" mar "My Precious" i rith aistriúchán bheag de "The Lord of the Rings" a thugadh dúinn ón ár múinteoir Ghaeilge i meánscoil...

I'd say the best translation would be:
"Mo Chailín, a stór"

Yes but I thought it sounded better than a literal translation.

Maybe the op could give us the context...

What about "Mo thaiscidh ghirsigh"?

I think that particular ship has sailed. This thread is over four months old.
