What are the names you like to be called and you don't like to be called?

Tell me what people call you and the reasons why you like it or why you don't like it.

Update:

bugi,

I like “Bugoy”. I like mischievous.

Wozza,

“rachy” sounds much better than “Wanky” as to “Franky”

Abu,

Don’t let people get to ya. Joke back to them. That’s how I made friends when I moved to Canada.

Update 2:

BTW,

I don’t like people calling me “sweetie”. These are the things that go through my mind when someone calls me “sweetie” - 'Give me a break! I might look young but I’m about your mom’s age. If you keep looking down on me, you’re gonna pay for it. Because I’m gonna tell you this in front of all these people - Hey, kiddo. Find your sucker and sit down over there. You are getting my nerve. Yeah. You don’t know me well enough if you are calling me that.’

I've always liked my nickname "Bob" simply because it’s funny - I am Japanese and people in this town couldn't pronounce my name when I first moved here. Someone said, ‘can I just call you Bob?’ and since then, I was Bob for a while.

I also like people calling me, “tough b**ch”. It just explains about me well.

    I don't like being called "wop", "guinea", or "dago". Those are all anti-Italian ethnic slurs that I heard far too much of growing up.

    I like it when my girlfriend calls me by my actual name instead of my Americanized nickname. But she's the only one I allow to do it.

    people call me rachy, and that annoys me because it makes me feel like a 3 year old being annoyed by her grandmother...
