I know a guy nicknamed Tug, because they "tugged" him out of the womb.
A very awkward story when you first meet someone (23yrs old). My cousin is dating him and I asked her if everyone calls him that all the time.
Apparently yes, he even writes that on the top of his assignments and teachers called him Tug in school. He has no problem explaining the nickname... eek.

I once met a guy (huge, relaxed, cheerful, muscular, happily married) who was introduced as Dosie. This is the Afrikaans diminutive of 'doos', which means 'box'. He was so small as a new baby that he was kept in a shoe-box instead of a cot. Cute, right? Except that as well as meaning a box, a doos is also an insult along the lines of 'dick-head' and for much the same reason. I've been told that 'box' in American English can be used to refer to very private female parts ...
Yeah, poor guy. But I also know a Tug who pronounces it 'Toog' with the same vowel as in 'book'. In his case it was a childhood version of his actual name, Hugh.
