For example, a budding guitarist called Michael who loves Mick Jagger choosing to go by the name of Mick.

But Mick Jagger's English so he knows the customs - and they're fairly similar between England and Holland.

In fact, rockstars like Mick Jagger (70s), Steven Tyler (60s), Prince (50s) are more likely having had decades to accumulate fans.

But when the pics are of Mick Jagger at Studio 54 or Jackie O, and Andy Warhol took them, now you've got art.

I think it was Mick Jagger who said something like that the time we've lived in was kinda special.

They bought Kiva Systems for $775 million from Mick Mountz, a former Webvan employee who identified warehouse fulfillment as a prohibitive cost in delivering groceries.

So some of your examples, when clarified, are a bit clearer: Paul McCartney - Beatles + Rolling Stones = Mick Jagger is in the 3rd spot.

There's probably quite a few people that would love to be called by their first name by Mick Jagger, but clearly Meneer Escher wasn't one of them.

The next time you need a server, are you going to pick on the phone and give Mick a call, or are you going to waste your (presumably) valuable time doing some comparison shopping?

Even books I would've very much liked to have finished and I found interesting, such as Mick Foley's Have a Nice Day!, his autobiography about breaking in to the wrestling business, I have not been able to finish.

Not sure why, but your story reminded me of a friend of mine who's always gone by the name, "Mick" (a common shortening for the name Michael in Australia.) The thing is, neither his first or middle names are Michael.

How many times I've heard an otherwise technically competent individual complain at being laughed at for using "but <other_person> give me the link I assumed it was OK" as part of their defence when taken the mick out of for getting infected by malware from some ropey website/app/whatever is something it would scare me to count.

"Founder and CEO Mick Mountz experienced the challenges of existing material handling systems firsthand while working at online grocer Webvan." I wonder how many other dotcom flameouts went on to rethink the expansiveness of their plans, and started solving individual problems that caused their failure.

I thought this would be about becoming a naturist, like Mick Aston of Time Team fame, or perhaps reference Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" where the Nest has a sign "did you remember to put clothes on" just inside the door (Spider Robinson says he had the same arrangement in his home).

As Michael is a far more common name than Mick, it would only take a small proportion of 'Michael's to do that and suddenly 'Mick' makes the guitarist list.

It features Jerry Hall (Mick Jagger's Ex) interviewing David Bailey on his time making a documentary on Warhol.

That correlates strongly with famous musician names (Mick Jagger, Lionel Richie, Trey Anastasio, Sonny Rollins, Buddy Guy, Eddie Van Halen).
