HelpRe: QUESTION
in reply to a message by queenv
Possibly, yes.
I think sometimes nicknames just stick.
My cousin married her fiancé last weekend. His name is David but everyone calls him Tug, because the doctor had to "tug" him out at birth (possible TMI).
Even the priest referred to him as Tug during the ceremony.
In the Philippines sometimes people have legit nick"names" like Bebot, Ding or Wing-Wing that are used even professionally. Their real name might be Conchita, Virgilio or Andreana... and you would never know!
(Bebot means the same as "hot chick" and was used for a guy).
For what it is worth, I used to call a kid I met in this orphanage in Russia "Goofy". It stuck and everyone started calling him Goofy. Though, in fairness, the Disney character was not so popular there that the reference was obvious.
