I remember that Hermione was nicknamed Hermy by someone in the HP series. I am not sure of the answer, so I have asked it out.

3Your question and your question title are asking two different questions. The answer to your question title is Grawp, but the answer to your question body is Hagrid. – TylerH Mar 30 '15 at 17:54

1@MacCooper You already were the true winner when you solved the CAPTCHA :) – HarryJames Apr 12 '15 at 5:57
Hagrid did, in order to make it easier for his big little brother to remember her rather more difficult full name:
“An’ this is Hermione, see? Her—” Hagrid hesitated. Turning to Hermione, he said, “Would yeh mind if he called yeh Hermy, Hermione? On’y it’s a difficult name fer him ter remember.”

It was Grawp, Hagrid's half-brother. He couldn't pronounce Hermione: Hermy was the best he could do, best seen when Umbridge, Harry and Hermione are in the Forbidden Forest togther:
'"HERMY!" roared Grawp. "WHERE HAGGER?"'

He couldn't manage Hagrid, either (he went with Hagger).
EDIT: Krum also had trouble with her name, and pronounced it "Herm-own-ninny", though Grawp is most likely who you're thinking of (Krum only said it wrong once, and it wasn't a nickname).

2Bots are bad. They don't cry when Dumbledore falls off the Tower. So I am accepting your answer :) – HarryJames Mar 29 '15 at 20:51

2That suggests that the previous answer is a bit better than this one, because Hagrid asked Hermione if Grawp could call her "Hermy" three chapters before Grawp did so in your quote. – Wad Cheber Nov 3 '15 at 0:53
