"Hick, nickname for Richard "

I don't know about a nickname but, in Portuguese, 
an 'R' is pronounced the way we pronounce an 'h' 
in English. When I was visiting Brazil, everyone referred to me as "Hick".

Now, my family is from Iowa, but I live in 
central Massachusetts. I suppose I'm a "hick" 
because I don't subscribe to the "preppie" ways 
of life and I hate big cities, but I'm not generally called that.
