My mother’s brothers were: Beefy (Frank), Bubby (Anthony), Sudgi )Joseph). And other Uncles had similar “names.” I think I was in my teens before I knew their real names! I’m convinced it was to distinguish them from all the others in our family with the same name. lol. Thanks for the memories ❤️
On the serious side, women do get nick names, unfortunately, they can be for calling out something negative about their bodies, e.g. fatso, big boobs and the like. The nick names we tend to get are objectifying us in ways we may not wish to be.
