My ex and I ended on extremely bad terms so it's really weird to hear that nickname used towards ME and be reminded of him. Is there any way I can somehow get my boyfriend to stop using that nickname for me without explaining the real reason I don't like it?

 Just tell him you don't like it and suggest one you'd prefer more. You don't have to explain why.

 Tell him to pick another Nick name, just tell him you don't like the one he currently uses, if he wants to know why... tell him, I am wiling to bet he will NEVER use that nick name again.

 Just tell him what you've just told us.
I see no reason why he wouldn't understand.

If he's considerate of your feelings, which I am sure he is, he should understand this and become creative and come up with a new one :)

 If you simply tell him that you are not too fond of that nickname, he should stop, reason or no, he should find that there is no point in giving a girlfriend a nickname she hates. If he asks and is adamant in finding the reason why, just tell him that you would rather not talk about it. That would let him know that it is serious.
I hope that helps.
