That nickname from sixth grade doesn’t get a vote on who you are now.

Labels handed out in childhood stick because they arrived when you had no way to argue with them. The person who gave you that one was twelve and not paying close attention, and the version of you they were describing has been gone for years. It keeps its power now only through repetition inside your own head.

When the old name surfaces, check who is actually saying it. Usually the answer is you, out of habit. Name one piece of evidence from the last year that contradicts it, and let the recent evidence outrank the old verdict.
