I take that back, I have had distortions on my name.  In Spanish class,
I was called "Nico".  Later, someone dubbed me "Nico Suave" (pun based
on the singer "Rico Suave"), a friend of mine picked it up, and so it's
stuck.  My brother, in turn, has created the distortion /nikow swr=vej/
or /nikoh swarvej/.  There's also the purely orthographic distortion
N~ico Sua~ve, among others.  /nik/ is also sometimes heard.
