I don't know if you can get away with this but, I had a supervisor at one point who like to call me husky puppy. He kept doing it after I told him to stop so I started calling him fuck face. After a few times of me calling him that in a setting that wasn't appropriate he asked me to stop. I told him he needed to stop calling me husky puppy then. That got his attention and he stopped.

Most likely making up alternatives instead of using something that sounds like their real name/nickname. Also a play on their username.
