Somewhat random yet related note: So my school has a fair number of famous people's daughters at it, and I can't disclose anything specific without violating my confidentiality clause, but I have to share this. Vaguely. There is an actor who stars in Numbers. His daughter's first name is, evidently, Tu. Unusual, but only really groan-inducing when you add that to her last name. Going to have to let you google that yourself, but really? Why do that to a kid?
I would be there right now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Ha! Don't need to google. I remember the announcement when she was born. She's in high school?!

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, I didn't have to google either. It truly is groan-inducing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Going to have to let you google that yourself, but really? Why do that to a kid?
So that one day she can track him down to an old saloon on a street of mud and shout "My name is Tu! How do you do!"

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Bwahahahahahaha. Poor girl. I know nicknames are usually shortenings, but surely she's worked something out...

I think it was a family tradition on his wife's side.

I wonder how many times someone has sung "only a day away" to her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wasn't really paying attention, but I guess I know whose kid it is now.

Tradition of what? Cheesy-ass names that will give a child a complex?

According to IMDb, he and his wife like names based on puns. His wife's name is one also.
