I see I see, that nick name isn't THAT bad.
I have several groups of friends, and thus have gotten quite a few nick names.
The worst was 'bucket head' back in middle school.
The shop teacher didn't like me, and I didn't like him, and he coined this name.
I countered by calling him 'old man', or 'bald old man'.
The name wore off quickly as I called anyone who used it "the old mans bitch".
More recently my nick names have been fine, some annoying, but I give out plenty of bad nick names myself. And few stick because I don't respond quickly unless my name is called. Also, due to hanging out with several "groups" it is too hard to explain the names over and over.
The most sound advice I can give is "STOP buying things for girls."
If they are pissing you off, call them by their last names.
"hey micky"
"hey johnson, my name is matt"
I find last names are effective for 'nick name' type effect of distancing.
