How about Geisha?

My sister calls me Ari. She tries to make her kid call me Aunt Ari.

What's sad is that she's not internet savvy and we don't talk about anything anime related (she hates anime). My roommate used to call me Ari, so my sister picked it up without knowing the context.

My friends in highschool called me Rose. That might not count as a nickname since it's my middle name.

The guys at college called me Art. We marked all are work with innitials - mine happen to spell a word.

No.

Oh, and as far as my pet name pet peeves -

In Russian, never call me Zhora (another possible derivation). NEVER. Likewise don't start on the "Yuri" thing, yes I know "Yuri" and "Georgiy" historically come from the same name, but I'm not fucking Yuri and don't try to convince me otherwise

And no "Curious George" or "Georgie" in English. "George of the Jungle" - maybe. I'm usually more tolerant to that

At work they call me Hitler or Short Little Gestapo Leader.

I've got tons of pet peeves, but I try not to think about them. Every time one occurs is a reminder to me.

Friends and family came up with Shell, and closer friends use Shelly. Only everytime certain peoples call me that, it's followed by a squeeky "SHELLLLAAAAAY" theme song >.>

Not sure if that song falls under one of my pet peeves or not.

pet name pet peeve - I cant stand the pet name "baby" to me it doesn't sound right, it doesn't make sense and its just annoying

but then again the connotation for me is screaming, crying, whining, dirty diapers, messy eaters, and overall brats that throw a fit when they don't get their own way all of the time (theres a reason I haven't had any babies of my own yet)

I can see how some women/men might be connected to such an image, but I'd like to think (or perhaps hope) that most adults have grown up since their infant/toddler stage, though yea...

I donno its just always irked me when someone called me "baby" or just uses it in general as a pet name for an adult human.

Its always made me want to punch someone in the stomach - usually the person using the pet name to begin with.

Of course not. Yuri doesn't work like that.

Pet peeves: Other people in person.
