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.
