Charley is too obvious, I suppose. Lena? Monkey Girl?

Cha Cha, Choo Choo, Chi Chi, Cho Cho San, Chu Chi.
What was the name of that long-eared character in one of the prequels to
Star Wars? Jar Jar Bing?>>Char Char Ching. All of these nicknames
could be followed up by names that evoke some activity you find her
particularly funny or enchanting in.

Eating comes to mind: Choo Choo Chompers, Chewbie Chewbie Choo.
Choo Choo Chino.

Gee, I don't know that cultural reference. Clue me in, please.

Back to the topic: Lena Hyena? Or just Hyena? That might elicit a
bad reaction from the target. Maybe the OP should stick to
something safe like Cutie-Pie or Sweetie or--here's a
thought--whatever name she chooses to be called.

Before she became a pop singer, Kylie Minogue was in the Australian
soap "Neighbours"; she played a character called "Charlene", who
worked in a garage as a mechanic.
