Eh, name calling typically isn't as bad as direct insults...trust me, when/if bullies start mocking your family and friends openly, THEN it really starts to hurt. x_x
:D Here's a way to ease the pain of his name-calling: Come up with your own name for him, but make it wayyyy above his comprehension level. (Just don't make it TOO insulting to the point where if he asked a teacher what it meant, you'd get in serious trouble.) Try coming up with names by basing them off of books he'd never read--like, call him a Vermicious Feral (from the Willy Wonka books, "the Vermicious Knid," a rather unintelligent alien monster; "vermicious" menaing "worm-like" and "feral" meaning "brutal, having reverted to a wild state"). Or maybe use a Shakespearean insult, like calling him a Beslubbering Fustilarian or something. XD ("Beslubbering" basically means "drooling" and "fustilarian" means "someone lowly; a scoundrel".) It's fun to use Shakespearean insults because they sound so funny, and no one but you typically knows what it means. :3
Here's an example of how you might use these lovely nicknames:
Bully: Hey, [insert-insulting-name-here]. :mad:
You: ^_^ Hello, my Beslubbering Fustilarian!
Bully: o___o ... What did you just call me?! e_e
You: Oh, it's from Shakespear! :D It's a compliment.
Bully: What the heck does it mean?
You: Basically, someone awesome.
Your friends, who know what it REALLY means: XD XD XD
Bully: e___O ?!
The only drawback of using those kind of names is that (1) if they can find a smart enough adult to tell them what it means, they'll be mad, (2) if this kid is prone to physical violence, he may just decide to hit you for calling him something his tiny brain can't comprehend, -_- and (3) it's not exactly the nicest thing in the world. <:^J But it DOES make you feel better, sometimes. You don't even have to call him that to his face, just refur to him as whatever name you choose when you're venting/talking about him to your friends. It helps take away some of the tension and makes the bully seem smaller and less important in your life. ^_^
