Back 3 or 4 months ago, I approved a nickname I didn't really care for from a villager, thinking they would just ping me to change it again a few weeks later, but they're still calling me the nickname. Anyone else have this problem or have any tips/luck in getting a villager to change a previous nickname?

I don't know if it has to do with being more involved with that villager for them to give you a new name. Pashmina was my second villager on the island, and from March up until about a month ago, she never once asked to change my name. It was always U-o-rino.
Ah! For some reason I thought that only applied to catchphrases, I didn't know it could work for nicknames.
A few months ago, Rex wanted me to pick a nickname he could call me. I was busy and didn't want to deal with it, so i to!d him to call me " smelly". Big mistake. He still calls me smelly, and the other villagers are always asking me if they can call me smelly too. Lol. Annoying but funny.
Just wait it out until one of them gives you the option to type in your own.
I've never accepted a nickname from a villager, since Eloise started calling me HON back in WW 2005. ^_^
I never set catchphrases or nicknames. Villagers copying each other's nicknames and catchphrases makes them no longer special, and ruins variety and originality.
