“The nickname "Zicro" derives from Felipe's surfing days when he was a teenager. Growing up in the 70s/80s, Felipe became a big fan of the Brazilian football (soccer) star "Zico", who was part of the famous national squad along with Falcão, Sócrates, Cerezo and Júnior. His devotion for the football player became a subject of mockery by his friends who started calling him short names relating to Zico, such as "Zizi", "Zaza", "Zazi", "Zazicra" and lastly "Zicro". Some of these nicknames are still used today by a few close friends, but predominantly Zicro.”
