To object to this nickname?

[NotMyNsme]

I’ve name changed as I’m using my real name (no other way to put it in context).

my name is Morag. I work in NHS setting, only one bloke in the team and he came up with the highly amusing (not) nickname of SnotRag. Wasn’t too bad when it was just him saying it but other staff members started calling me it too, I’ve said time and time again not to call me it but it falls on death ears. Icing on the cake yesterday when my own student referred to me as SnotRag. I took her aside and told her not to call me that (as well as giving her general advice on not following Dickhead’s examples) and she apologised but said she thought everyone called me that as I was even down on the November off duty list as SnotRag!!! I’d not seen it. Worst thing about it is it wasn’t even this bloke who wrote it, it was someone else.

The nickname is now morphing into variations such as Snotty, Snots and Rags.

I spoke to the charge nurse yesterday who told me it was just a nickname and she gets called Pipsqueak (her name is Pippa) and that basically I just have to get on with it.

So WIBU to take it to her?? It’s driving me mad.

Start calling him wanker .

This is appalling. Agree with all posters saying it is bullying and to go to HR.

I only just found this thread. I was directed here by a friend who knows how much I LOVE the name Morag. Honestly I need to have Scottish twins so I can call them Mungo and Morag. Best names ever.

Loud voice "don't call me that. I don't like it " every time.

HR are with the managers OP, get on to your union, they can contact HR and let them know. Trust me- this will stop!

Completely unacceptable. Total arseholes.
This is very much bullying.and it needs to be stopped immediately, should have stopped when you first asked them to stop. The fact that it is still happening is so disrespectful.
Morag is a beautiful name,and that's what they should be calling you.

Nothing wrong with nicknames - if they're cute/the person involved is happy. For instance I know someone called Taylor and we call her Swifty .... but she's perfectly happy about it. Snotrag isn't nice, and more importantly, you don't like it, so I think take the matter as far as necessary to get it stopped. He's an arsehole.

This!

Given it's not your actual name written down on the duty roster I wonder if not showing up for shifts would do the trick....?
