Doesn't there have to be a _desu_ at the end?  Or is there a reason it's
not required there?  Is it because _boku_ is an informal pronoun?

Hmmm ... so I could be "Nikkuchan"?  I like it!  :-)

For some reason, Taylor is _Tiiraa_, with _te_ and "little _i_".  Don't
know why, but Sensei said that that was how Elizabeth Taylor's name was
katakana-ized.  "Nik" was just _Nikku_, same number of kana as the
English has letters.  :-)  In Spanish, I was _Nico_, thus the nickname
"Nico Suave".  :-)

Would the full Nicholas be _Nikarasu_?
