Re: Nicknames that aren't names
in reply to a message by Alda
Where I live, there is a huge extended family with the last name Buckingham. Most of them go by some form of Buck. The grandfather is Big Buck and the grandmother is Bucky. They're really well-known in our city, and I love their nicknames. I know a guy who goes by Red, because he has red hair. I love it, and I really can't remember his real first name.I know a teenager who's real first name is Tag, and it really suits him. His brothers are Brody and Zeke.The rest of them I've never heard used as nicknames, except for coaches who call their players Champ and Bud.
