my boyfriend is annoying when he says my nickname.. how can I say his name back more annoyingly?

My boyfriend is going through this phase where he says my name like, " maaggsterr" in this really annoying way. Hes been doing it for months now and I don't appreciate it when I'm trying to build confidence at work and school and he is joking and being sarcastic ALL the time when I'm trying to be serious. His name is Chris. What can I call him (creatively -other than ****** or asshole or something) that could get on his nerves back and rid him of this aweful phase. ( we have been together for more than 12 years, our relationship is good-but he is just annoying a lot.) Thanks

    Call him "Chrisis".

    I used to know a fellow named Chris when he was rather overweight. His school buddies called him "Crisco" ("fat in the can"). (He has been slim for decades now.)

    Another acquaintance of mine was on the wrestling team in high school. His unique style gained him the nickname of "Spider", which he disliked. His way of coping with it was to ignore it completely. "Nothing to do with me if somebody calls me 'Churchill' or 'Spider' or 'Mickey Mouse'," was his attitude.

    Whatever, I don't think retaliation is the best way to handle this. I'd say, "If you don't want my company, just say so and I'll go away. No need to be sarcastic or insulting about it." Then actually do fade from the scene when he starts with "Maaggsterr" the next time.

    You need to realize that it's possible that your whole, long relationship is running down.

    You have had a boyfriend for twelve years and he has yet to learn to respect your request to stop this annoying pronunciation of your name?

    And you want to be equally as annoying? My goodness, grow up and stop this ridiculous grade school nonsense.

    Tell him you feel disrespected and to stop immediately. If he does not, then you are stuck with a guy who does not respect you.

    Stooping to his level is childish.

    12 years?

    how old were you two?

    if you were 10 and now 22 he is a bit old for playing that game.

    You sound more like brother and sister than gf and bf

    After 12 years this annoys you? Speak up for yourself. No need to stoop to his level. You claim to be an adult. Act like one.

    Don't do that.

    Just tell him in private you don't like it.

    A man wants to please his woman, not ridicule her.
