Vike was because I listened to Norwegian black metal, was reading Icelandic and looked like a Viking
It was a daft university nickname, just like Dude because I looked like Jeff fucking Daniels at the time.
Lynx, however, works on my first name, which is Rich, which in Polish is Rysio which is very close to Rys, which means Lynx. So I get called "Little Lynx" in Polish.
