In doing genealogy I collected all "Vlk"s that I ran across.  There was another Vlk family in Brookfield, not related, who had a CB&Q employee. 
Another from Ohio won a Pepsi contest because the bottle caps had the vowels scarce, not knowing we Bohemians were too cheap to buy a vowel!

The Czech language had a dearth of vowels which always fascinated me...My wife, being of that same heritage had folks in her home town with sir names like..Vrb, Trz, Srb, Brt etc. and given names like  Aloysius, Alois, Bohumel,  Vaclav (James),  Valarian (Tom).

Golly, Charlie, you don't have enough letters in your name and your father-in-law has too many! I'm just kidding you, of course.

Steve-
Since my father-in-law worked as a clerk (my wife says “bookkeeper”) in the Cicero Office…….did you know Aloysius Grodek?   He would have been working there c.1970.

Those are some neat nicknames BUT I would not reveal who the "Shadow" or "Cupcake" are to say nothing of "Miss Piggy" or "Gramps"  we also had a "Poopsy" in the Cicero Office had once been a trainmaster
