I don't either.

I don't like it either....

It's not anything new, and I don't find it disrespectful at all.  It's entirely between the people who shortened the name and who apparently likes them calling them by their shortened name.  

I don't factor into their relationship, so I would never judge it as disrespectful.  They've worked together closely and for a long time.  They like it.  They find it endearing & fun.  

Some hosts say for every vendor that comes on, "I've known him/her for 30 years..." in every presentation.  Some hosts, invoke the nickname to show similar familiarity, but in a fun way.

People do it to me all the time. As long as they are talking to me with respect, I don't care. No one ever correctly pronounces my last name but it doesn't bother me.

@HLP 

But, does it bother you?  Have you asked her to stop, or addressed it in some way?  If not, why not?
