    No one really has a funny "Christian" name, but there are some strange nicknames in my immediate and extended family:



    Jerry (my dad) = Bunny to his siblings, Uncle Bunny to my cousins...He also gave himself the middle name "Pernell" when he was 8 or 9 from some character on Rawhide that now appears on all government documents



    Eloise (my deceased grandmother) = Diddy



    Beverly (my aunt) = Hennie



    Zenobia (my cousin) = Toy



    Artis (my grand-uncle) = Sonny Boy

    I had a boss named dick buttsavage.... i play you not... DICK BUTTSAVAGE!
    in our first team meeting i tryed to play it off by calling him mr. "boosovoge" (french pronunciation). He held me after and said, "tom, i appreciate your creativity, but my name is buttsavage."

    it was completely surreal.

    Wow. Even if you tried to abbreviate it or something it would still be "BS".

    There was a senator in NH named dick sweat.

    Is he Portuguese? That's kinda common.

    I'm Cajun, so my family's had some doozies. My mom's first cousin is named Lawless. He was a champion fiddler. And my paternal grandfather was named Minus (as in subtraction).



    But yo, Delay...Dick Buttsavage? Cot-dayum.

    I have an uncle whose name sounds like "Bert". When he was born, they made an error on his birth certificate and wasn't able to afford to change it. Thus, he is Berth.

    I have an auntie named Elodia, a name one doesn't hear of these days. Do a search for "Elodia Kane" and you'll see some of the CD's she has done.

    I have two other aunties that I still call by their nicknames, even though I'm old enough to be proper. One is Tita (tee-tah), and her name is this because I could not say Linda when I was a kid. Thus, she has always remained "Tita". Different from the other Hawaiian slang word of "tita" (tit-ah), which would be your roughneck woman who can beat you and your brothers up, and ask your sister out for a date.

    Then there's "Tutu". Her brothers and sisters called her "tutu" because she acted more like a grandmother than someone who was a young girl. That name stuck, and she became my Auntie Tutu instead of Auntie Sandy or Sandra.

    Out of all of my cousins, the oddest one would be Kody, only because it sticks out. Everyone else is an Amber, Sarah, Kristina, Sean, Jonathan, Sherrie, etc.

    My mother in law's name is Ollie. Her childhood nickname was Dyke, and to this day close family members call her Dyke. Like, my wife's cousins will ask her "how's Aunt Dyke doing?" True story. Very sweet lady, by the way, and not a dyke at all (not that dykes can't be sweet ladies too, but you know what I'm sayin').

    I guess the question is, what's the origin of the nickname "Dyke"?

    It's a childhood nickname... I don't think anybody even knows for sure.

    I went to school with Jason Fluck and at the NAMM show one year I had a name card and spent a day introducing myself as Mike Hunt from Australia. I managed to not offend too many paople being Mike Hunt.

    Not a relative, but I was once interviewed for a job by a woman named Bess Ho. I was like damn, she's really putting her business out there. I still have her card laying around here somewhere if any of y'all ever get lonely.

    Yeah I had a Uncle Yummy who lived in Queens. He passed away in 2000 and in 2005 I'm producing a singer named "Yummy" from Queens. Go figure.

    My grandma's name was Era Juanita, but we called her Grandma Edie cause I guess my dad's cousins couldn't say Era when they were little so it just became Edie.
