What's a good American nickname for the Arabic name "Amir"?

It's spelled "Amir" and pronounced "uh-meer." Americans are a little confused by my name because it's ethnic, and it's hard to remember. What's a good American nickname for "Amir."

Why do you need an "American nickname"? I like Amir!!!! America is a melting pot, and they need to get with the program! I knew how to pronounce your name- be proud of your heritage!!!!
Reply:What's wrong with Amir? If someone can't remember it, it's because they don't care enough to. Don't worry about it, it's a cool name.
Reply:America? Beats me.


At least it's patriotic.
Reply:Do you have a middle name? If so, you can use the first letter of your first name and the first letter of your middle name (or last name if you dont have a middle name) to come up with a nickname. Say your middle name (or last name) started with a J. They can call you "A.J." Hope this helps.
