That is the thing I do try to stand up for myself ask them rickus who? Tell them stop calling me that and so on and nothing happens they just call me rickus again or tell me this is the name I gave you and this is what I will call you no one can choose their own name.

When things have gone as far as they have and it upsets you to this extent maybe its time for you to try a different tact. I was unwilling to but have now...if you do nothing then nothing will change. How important is this to you and what are you prepared to do to stop it. It has taken me awhile to make a stand but I am finally doing it...Why don't you try something a bit more drastic it may get their attention at the very least.
