Nicknames

As I grew up I never had a nickname, my parent, family, friends have always called me by my name.  Sometimes in high school your friends give you a nickname but everyone has always called me by my name.  I always thought it would be so neat to have a nickname, even when I was married my ex never even gave me a nickname.   When I changed job positions and I worked with new people, my bff gave me a nickname.......he calls me Chief......because of that others call me Chief too.  I really like that and enjoy it, I find it very charming.  Kind of makes me feel important and special to them even if it is work related.
Now I have another nickname, I'm not even sure how he came up with the name but it was so funny and sweet that it is all good......he calls me Mimi or sometimes Mims.  He never calls me by my name I'm not even sure if he actually knows my first name.  But when he calls me Mimi just makes me melt (god I'm such a lush).  So i like being Mimi to him and look forward to hearing him call me Mimi again!!
