This is true, so I´m not kidding. When Lucchese went to school as a kid and while he was in prison, because of bad pronunciation of his last name, people started to call him "Cheese" (for Lucchese). I guess he didn´t like that so in a try to get away from the nickname "Cheese", whenever he was forced to state his name in public, he spelled it with a "K". This he said in front of the NY State Commission Hearings of the 1950s. He also said that he resented people calling him "Three Finger" and "Brown". So I doubt anyone called him that to his face. Vain as he was, he let his name be spelled "Luckese" on his gravestone.
