Helpmy cat is named Bud!
in reply to a message by queenv
He came from a plant nursery called Best Buds, so that's why we called him that.
For people I think Bud is a tad redneck. OR not so much redneck as extremely informal. If I used it at all witha person, it would be strictly informal, the same way I might call a good friend or relative Girl, Sis, Dude or Bro. (I personally very rarely use those terms, but I think you get what I'm saying.) I would not like to see a professional man using Bud as his work name. Even a gas jockey, I'd rather he just went by Jeff or Bill or David.
