Nicknames

How do you get certain people to stop using a certain nickname?

For the longest time, people have called me Cece.

With some friends, it's fine. Like, people I've known for like... Ever. When people like that call me Cece, it reminds me of childhood memories with them.

With other people though, I kinda hate it. It sounds so childish. Like, no offence to any person named Cece who exists, but it just sounds like a young name/nickname. It works for some people, but not really for me.

A lot of me online friends know me as Cal, and I like that. It's short and doesn't have any meaning associated to it.

Except for, of course, Cal from Love, Simon, which you should see. It's so good.

So I refer back to the question in the beginning. How to I get *some* people to stop calling me Cece, while implying that it's fine to others?
