Weird Affectionate Names

Have you ever been called or used an affectionate name that would just sound weird to someone who doesn't understand where it comes from?

Example: My sister used to have the nickname Belch. I think the logical progression was:

Carmella->Carmella-Bella->Bella->Belchick*->Belch

*"-chick" is an affectionate diminutive in Yiddish.
