Help with a Japanese translated book I’m listening to

I'm listening to Confessions by Kanae Minato and it has several POVs. One of them is from a teen girl called Mizuki. She details how the kids used to tease her and call her Mizuho (or Mizuhoh? I'm listening to it so not sure how they're spelling it, it's a long o sound with an emphasis on the ho). Can someone explain what about the nickname is funny? Is there a play on words happening in Japanese or just kids thinking it's funny to call her the wrong name?
