A coqui is a frog found in Puerto Rico. It's named for the sound it makes! I seems like a nickname that would originate not in relation to the name, but to the person. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoquiNo idea about the others!

wrong nameHere, in Argentina, Bobo is not a nickname. It's a male adjective and means "fool, sucker".
Tulio is a latin name.
Coqui is a nickname (unisex) but I don't know its origin.

Well, the text said Bobo......but it was from 1975. And maybe wrongly translated into Swedish?Short and sweet like Swedish summer....

I'm sure it was a wrong translation. You can write me for any doubt about argentinian names and nicknames, Caprice. Regards.

Are you sure Tulio is a nickname form? Diccionario de Nombres de Personas by Jose Albaiges Olivart lists it simply as the Spanish form of Tullio.
