When I was small and our family lived in New Jersey for a short while, I lived next to a little Caucasian girl and we used to play together. She had the hardest time pronouncing my name and decided that she was just going to call me "Michael" instead one day. :) Other than that, can't recall any other nicknames I picked up along the way.

In high school, people called me "brillo pad" or just "brillo" because I used to have a really short buzz cut.
