Could these names work as nicknames?
Replies
My counsin Montana is sometimes called Tater, from her normal nn Tana. I knew a Tate that went by Tater as a nn
Hock, I suppose, it's similar to Huck, which is a nn. It sounds more like a last name made nn though.
Berry - Barry is a name, Berry as a nn works fine because people will likely here "Barry" rather than think of berries
Cordi - my niece is a Cordelia who goes by Cordy, so yes, nn
Woof - Wolf, yes, Woof probably not. I can't see this in America at least, not with "woof" being an insult. Unless it's someone trying to reclaim an insult? It could be interested in a story.

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.

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 Delia
The rest are best left for pups.

I agree with you.
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
