Woof

No. And also why?Woof or Tater or Hock? Seriously?
I could see them working as, like, private joke nicknames or something. I sometimes refer to my dog as Dumpster because of his eating habits, but that's a private joke between me and my dog and I don't refer to him as such in public. Did you and your friend dress up as baked potatoes to a costume party and have fun doing it? Then sure, call each other Tater.Cordi could work for Cordelia, maybe.Berry? Just go by Barry.
Berry could be a nickname for Bernice or Bernadette. Cordi could be short for Cordelia or Concordia.

I knew a baby named Tatum who was nn Tater.Hock…it does seem like a nn but not sure what for. Hector?Berry in place of Barry?Cordi…I have a cousin named Cordon who as a small baby was called baby Cordy.Woof…Seems like a mispronunciation/shortening of the name Woolford.

Tater is a silly nickname for a cherubic toddler. Hock might be a nickname for someone whose last name is Hockley. Cordi might work as a nickname for Cordelia but Delia is better. Berry. I’d just stick with Barry. Woof is a name for a dog—just not a creative one.
Cordie might work for Cordelia?
Woof sounds like a not very imaginative dog's name.
Berry could be an actual name, just a different spelling of Barry. It would be a pain though.
Tater is just stupid. Like some hillbilly character, or else like baby talk.
Hock is gross. Hock is either to pawn something or to make a disgusting noise clearing out phlegm, usually followed by spitting.
Berry could work as a nn for Bernard but I'd spell it Barry
Cordi could work as a nn for Cordelia but I'd use DeliaThe rest are best left for pups.
I agree with you.
Tater - I only think of word dictator, and no
Hock - maybe?
Berry - Barry is a name so probably
Cordi - maybe
Woof - noHowever I do not like any.
Not for humans, in my opinion.
Tater would be a good nickname for a potato.
Hock could work as a nn for white wine, or for the bottom end of a leg.
Berry obviously as a nn for a fruit; I read that a banana is botanically a berry, so Berry Banana could work.
Cordi as a nn for Alexander would give Cordi Al.
Woof was almost a nn for a girl I was at school with: her name is Ruth and as a tiny child she pronounced it Woof.
Only Berry. Woof is especially heinous
