Nickleby

No, not Nicholas Nickleby, the book, the movie, or the made-for-tv movie.
Yesterday I heard someone refer to No Child Left Behind (NCLB) as “Nickleby.” Now, I usually say En-Cee-El-Bee, and maybe it sounds like En Seal Be or N’Sealby, and I think I hear it other people say it that way.
The Nickleby guy spends time in Washington. Is that how they say it there? Anywhere else? Or just a weird speaker?
