DH is nearly 40 and is still called Luli (loo-lee) by his parents and siblings. His slightly older brother couldn't pronounce Ewen as a small child and his mispronunciation has stuck.

DS is just starting to talk and calls DD "Titty". I'm hoping its a temporary thing ! Smile

My brother still calls me snotface (drop dead Fred), charming!

All of the kids in my family called DD (Eliana) 'Ellie-narna' which somehow became 'Nellie-banana' and now we all (teachers etc included) call her Nellie!

The nicknames my brothers and I gave one another as children are unprintably rude, so while they've stuck I won't be posting them here Grin

My DB used to call me Anya when he was little as he couldn't pronounce my similar but longer name. It never stuck though, although I have always liked that name.
