Nope. I use it as a nickname for my husband!I always thought the word muggins was local to me because I have never heard it anywhere else, looks like I was wrong.
My nana used the word muggins quite a lot. My family originated from Cornwall.
I've certainly heard it fairly often and use it sometimes myself. Quite a common usage is when people use it about themselves - when they feel they have been duped into doing something by someone else. As in, "I suppose muggins here is going to have to do the washing up"
My mother used "muggins" quite a bit if I remember correctly and she was 100% Yorkshire.
My grandmother used a word "do-ins" to signify a person whose name she couldn't remember. My kids thought it hilarious when she used to call me that when they visited (being hardly ever at home I'm surprised my kids didn't call me "do-ins").
