Terms of Endearment: What Say You? #JobInterviews

Going through a pile of papers in an effort to better organize my office today, once again I came across my scribbles of yet another list. If you follow my writing here on Career Hub, you know that I like (love) to keep lists. This list is not a list of great interview questions, although I do enjoy gathering those...it is simply a list of terms of endearment that clients and callers have "called" me since January, 2010. If you are a hiring manager, recruiter, career coach, resume writer, or decision-maker, do you have any preferences, likes or dislikes regarding how people 'refer' to you...or how you refer to others? As a professional, do you care one way or the other when someone refers to you using one of the below-stated "terms of endearment?" Does it sway your thinking one way or the other about them as a viable job candidate?
