People are always going to call you names, and there isn't much you can do about it. At least when you get older, it often changes from being said in a mean way to more of a petname/nickname.
If your FRIENDS pick out a name for you like this, its better to just roll your eyes and accept it, rather than create an issue with friends over it. As for people who are not your friends, you cant stop them, all you can do is try to not let it bother you in the hope that they get bored and decide to pester someone else.

Instead of being like STOP!!!! laugh at it with them be like your so gay in a joking way joke back with them instead of making it a big deal. When you threaten to tell on them that just makes it look like it bugs you. Try this if it doesn't work and it still bugs you..tell the principal. Hope i helped.
