My father was originally named Isaac. But nasty kids taunted him in school because he had a Jewish name (this was in New York, about 1900). They called him Ikey. So he changed his name to Isidore, but (that still being too Jewish) then to Irving. In 1952, when Vermont was full of people wearing "I Like Ike" buttons, he was highly amused. |
