In a lot of Latin American countries people named Enrique are nicknamed Kiké, sometimes with the accent mark and sometimes without. (And many online services and forms don't accept accent marks anyway so it's kind of moot).
This can, understandably lead to some confusion. It's kind of like when people visit India or Japan and see swastikas everywhere.
The word "Kiki," in France, is sort of a juvenile way to refer to a penis (like "wee-wee" or "pee-pee"). So all the Kristines and Annikas and just plain Kikis of the world can be met with a lot of giggles when they travel.
