Hahah...I've got that surname actually, I get it too sometimes :) it can be annoying but I just ignore it, because they don't mean to offend me or anything! If he knows it winds you up then he's just teasing you :)

TasteofIndia agony auntI call my fella by his last name. It's just the nickname I have for him... and while I call him "snugglemuffin" in the occasional moments, his last name is his favorite pet name that I call him. So to me, it's a very sweet nickname.

If it really bothers you, why not say something like, "why so formal, Johnson (insert his last name there)? That's what teachers call me, not my boyfriend!" or something far more clever...

Ok smith, lol! My mum does it to me (masterson) when she's in a witty mood. That could be what it is with him.

He's just playing, taking the micky and being friendly.

If you are so insecure about your relationship that you have to come to problem pages hunting for deeper meaning in something this small then I think you need to take a look in the mirror and chill out.

Good Luck!! xx
