Speaking of unique, there's a Mexican place (and food truck) in Denver (LoHi neighborhood) that has an unfortunate name: "removed's Tacos". Yes, removed's (you can certainly figure out what "removed" is)...it's a nickname for "Enrique". The name has been problematic enough (they were reported to the ADL, etc.) that the owner recently began using an accent: Kiké's. However, this is supposedly not grammatically correct in the Spanish language.

Just spell it Quique and anglos will have their minds melted like a killphrase
Though it's true that many nicknames/diminutives in all the Spanish speaking countries use the letter K
The slur one or "quique" is quite regional. Depends where you're from you spell it differently
