Mine is a nickname given me by my younger brother when we were kids, itself a suffixed version of a corruption of his original attempt at pronouncing my actual name when he was a toddler, and couldn't quite say it: "Aikes" (silent "a", long "i" sound, silent "e" - rhymes with "likes") + "Z" = "Zaikes", + "-man" = "Zaikesman" (to say it like my brother, the "a" in the "-man" part should be swallowed short, not enunciated). Did anybody guess that my name is Alex?
P.S. - Cham, I'm jazzed to find another fan of Birdy and the boys in these parts!
