Can I hear more about funny nicknames?

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 and/or why you don’t like it.

Update:

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 my 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 worked at a place a few years ago were we had 4 Debbies' so I told my boss to just call me George , I have no idea where it came from but

    everyone called me George the whole time I worked there .

    By the way I use Sweetie quite a bit , never thinking anyone could ever be offended by it . I could see getting offended if someone called me jerk

    or something like that , but I have always thought of Sweetie as an indearment .
