WIBU to ask my manager not to call me by a nickname she has created?

[buildalegohouse]

My line manager has this incredibly faux niceness thing going on and (among other annoying traits) has all these nicknames for different members of staff that she uses. They are all very cutesy and not at all offensive, but it grates on my last nerve every time she does it.
My nickname is an alliterative adjective in front of my name (similar to Adorable Abigail, for example). Obviously this does no harm and doesn't have any real effect on me or my job but I find it so odd. Am I being miserable or would you find this weird too?

I would find it weird and would ask her to stop.

I do not like nicknames or my first name being shortened, if anyone at work did it I would just say politely that I prefer my full name to be used.

I'd probably put up with it, tbh, for the sake of a quiet life. Kill it with a watery smile, or invent something equally nauseating for her.

YANBU that would get right on my tits

I would find it weird. YANBU. Unless you're close friends (and even if you're close friends) I consider behaviour like that inappropriate for work. I am a miserable baggage though.
Anyway. If you don't like it, you don't like it. As long are you are polite I see no reason why you should not say so.

I'd find that totally patronising. Not sure how I'd deal with it though not very helpful YANBU

YANBU. I get my name lengthened all they time (think Jane to Janey type of thing) and I HATE it. I will pull anyone up on if they use it. It's the height of rudeness to use a nickname that someone doesn't like.

Irritating but unless it's rude/critical I'd let it go.

I'd find it weird but would probably show my displeasure through dry sarcasm, to make them consider whether they really want to continue.

On the other hand, if it really annoyed the fuck out of me I'd tell them to stop.

Dear God, stop her, politely but firmly, every single time. Like a puppy you're training.

Just give her a nickname too.
Cunt face claire or something

I worked for a woman I couldn't stand, not least because she called me "Missy."

"Come along, Missy" she would bark as we headed up the platform to catch a train for various meetings. "Oh do fuck off," I would reply.

in my head

Pure morning - not very pure!

Totally unprofessional and potentially infantilising you all to highlight how important she is. I would pull her up on it or just correct her every time

My old boss used to call me a diminutive of my name. I used to correct him every time and he stopped quite quickly. I am a professional and the fact I am junior does not mean I can be patronised.

PureMorning - I love it!

I have tried to do it to her once or twice and she has laughed it off. I think it has gone on so long that asking her to stop would have to be a 'conversation', rather than a comment. I should have stomped it out sooner.

Everyone at work already thinks I'm a miserable cow as I don't take part in the pointless birthday club.

One of my lecturers at college called all the females "Missy" it was quite endearing (Lecturer was one of those ageless women who work until they drop, she'd have been late 60s/70s)

"What's the story here Missy"

Snowman- yes, yes! She does love a good powertrip. She frequently ends 'discussions' by declaring that it doesn't matter what others think as she is in charge so we shall be doing it her way.

But 70 - she's in her 40s and only about a year older than me, fcking patronising bitch pissing on her patch to show everyone who's boss, clacking along the platform in her wonky high heels and then calling the train crew "trolley dollies."

I'd confront it.

"You called me xxxxxx. I've asked you not to call me xxxxxx. I feel uncomfortable with this jokey nickname in a professional environment. Please call me by my name in future."

I don't think it's horribly rude but I wouldn't like it. I would just ask her not to do it. I'd simply say something along the lines of

"Can you please not call me adorable annabel -I don't like it and I prefer to be called Annabel. Thanks"

Oh gosh yanbu. But I would say you'd have to put up with it. I can't see it affecting you positively if you were to ask her to stop.
I think in my mind when she called me by the nickname I would invent a name for her and say it to myself.
Do you think you'll be able to put up with it.

Do you work in a big organisation?

There is no way I would put up with it. I would start with a quiet word and say you don't like the nickname and feel it would be best if she called you by your first name. If she takes affront I would talk to HR as it is an insidious form of bullying.

If my boss hasn't dropped it I would have been looking for a new job. It's horrible working somewhere where you feel belittled - and she is belittling you by calling you a nickname in the way she does.

I'd let it go unless it was offensive.
You will look like a killjoy & she will say it & then make a big play of saying sorry she forgot you don't like to be called that.
What's her first name begin with? I'm sure we can collate a most impressive list

Let's say she's called Jane.

Jisum Jane.
