[Opinions] Re: unusual nicknames
Someone in my family had a friend named Charles who went by Chick rather than Chip, Chuck, or Charlie. I thought that Chick was an odd nickname for a guy.

My step-great-grandfather was named Karl, changed his name to Charles... but he was called "Childs" because of his pronunciation of the name.

Oh, I posted this in mine too! Guess it's not that uncommon :) He was my soccer coach for a bit and happens to be one of my least favourite people ever. He just rubs me entirely the wrong way, so I kind of hate Chick as a name too.
