Where do I start...
Having a name like Isaac is unusual to begin with. When in my baby years I was given names such as "eye-kak" (phonetically speaking) by my verbally challenged friends...

Moving on to later years, I was called "Ike" or "Ikey" by many people (though both the people who called me that and I did not realise that it was also a derogative? name for Jews). That name still persists today.

At about the same time as that name originated, some malicious friends began a kind of rhyme which went 'Ikey pikey porkey pine' which was used to infuriate me whenever possible. I eventually pretended not to hear it whenever it was uttered and people stopped trying to bait me with it.

In my teenage years I started a website business called 'Zack Design'. Even before that people kept asking me if I was called 'Zack' but I would disillusion them. Now, however my clients kept calling me that (I don't correct them because that confuses the marketing thing). I now have two identities - business Zack and normal Isaac.

If that wasn't bad enough, one of my clients began calling me 'Zack Attack' which I thought was quite funny. So I let him do it as long as that business relationship lasted.

I also have red hair. So I was called Matchstick and Redhead as well (tall and skinny with red hair, go figure). I no longer have the same hue of red (quite dark now) so I no longer get called that.

Other people called me 'the Pig' because I ate food quite fast and sometimes with my mouth open due to excitement and trying to talk. And it actually hurt to get called that cause I usually only ever committed such horrendous crimes in their presence...
No apple logies for length.
