As for nicknames. Growing up in the 70s, "Hey Bonny, where's Clyde?" nearly drove me to distraction. Let us speak not of "My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean" and all its deviant variations. Nor of Bonbon (present company excepted, of course), Boney, Boner, and my personal favorite, Buggy. Yesh.
I very seldom ever get the 'heh, heh, you know what BJ stands for dontcha?' leer (which is why, I'm convinced, there are so many more male BJs than female) and when a do, a brisk walk away works every time.
But tragically, as much as I want to think, my unusual name makes it memorable, i still get clients who make checks out to BJ Collins, BJ Thomas and a bunch of not-my-names. Fortunately, my bank is flexible.

That's an AWEsome name!
My favorite nick is my HS friend, Mike's. It's P.C. for "Pin cushion" 'cause the boy is pierced, uhm...everywhere.
My favorite HS nickname was Martin Cubed. His name really, truly was Martin Martin Martin.
I knew a guy called Trip because of his triple initials. And another called Trey because he was the third.

Did he ever read
Catch-22
?

Heh, there was a character on
Dead Like Me
who was called
Trip
because he was the third.
I've known several men named Robert Roberts.
Trip is a common preppy nickname for IIIs.
I've known several men named Robert Roberts.
What is the logic behind this?
