It sounds like "peche" which is the french word for fish.

Ummmm...I think it's a bad idea.

it's actually a nickname. . . Jewish/Polish/Russian etc will a lot of the time, for the older generations have longer names and then the more familiar. That's a 'familiar form'. . . I don't know of what, though.

For example, a croatian name, Pavel, (male) will sometimes be shortened to Pascha as a familiar.
