I've been using the same nickname for 25 years. A Puerto Rican friend of mine in middle school couldn't really handle the hard K in Patrick and started to call me Pato, to his amusement. I was less amused. He switched to Patio; it stuck hard enough that even my family calls me it to this day. Somebody on CompuServe had already beaten me to Patio so I appended my favorite number.
