What does もうやめてください mean?


If someone says 「もうその呼{よ}び方{かた}をやめてください。」, does it mean:

  1. Stop calling me that already. 
  2. Stop calling me that now. 
  3. Don't call me that anymore.

How do もう and やめる interact?




やめる means 'to quit' so もうやめてください essentially means "please quit it" and もう
emphasizes annoyance implying that someone has continued to do something much
to one's repeating request of cessation.

Hope this helps!
