CBR-III #8: A.M. Homes: This Book Will Save Your Life

Ok. So somebody introduces himself to the hero and says "I'm Nic."
How does the narration know that Nic spells his name without the "k"? Wouldn't the hero put him down as an ordinary "Nick", by default? The book is clearly written as a third-person narration, so wouldn't it have to put the default "Nick" down first before, if ever, correcting it to a "Nic"? Wouldn't it make much more sense to have Nic himself specify the peculiar writing of his name?

Yes. This really is the most pressing question I have about this book.
