I have and uncle that went by Corky whose given name was Lawrence. I asked my father and he said his younger brother was called that “...because he was such a corker.” So I agree with the buoyant bouncy definition.
He started going by Larry by the time I met him for the first time but my father still slipped and called him Corky.
