    Quranic advice in this regard is the best to follow, just say Salam and part your way:

    وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَنِ الَّذِيْنَ يَمْشُوْنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُوْنَ قَالُوْا سَلَامًا.

    [It is He Who is the most-merciful] and the servants of the most-merciful are the ones who walk humbly on earth and when a person overcome with emotions tries to argue with them, they step aside by saying salam to him. (Quran 25:63)

    Another great Quranic advice is to repel evil with good.

    These are great suggestions. If still the person doesn’t stop, try this. I went through this during my school years. If being nice doesn’t work, then show anger and stern voice to stop the person. If that doesn’t work, as a last resort create a worse nick name for that person and start calling him by that name. The person will certainly stop calling you with the bad name.
