Re: Zubby
From what I could find, Zubby is used as a pet-form of Azubuike (Buike and Azu are other nicknames) so I would agree that it can be used as a nickname for Azubuike. However, I've also seen Azubuike listed as being an Igbo name, the Igbo being a tribe located in southeastern Nigeria. I'm only bringing it up because I don't know whether Azubuike is used exclusively for men who are part of the Igbo tribe or whether it's used by other ethnic groups in Nigeria in spite of its origin. I would say list its origin as both Nigerian and Igbo just to be on the safe side.
