Never been a big fan of people naming their children just the
nickname...kind of takes the fun out of it. Though, I did know a
Bobby once, who was just Bobby. His mother was Vietnamese and
wanted to give him the most 'American' name she could. His father
(who was a white US serviceman) was overseas and no one had ever
explained to her about nicknames. So Bobby was just Bobby.
