Sorry to add to the derail portion of this thread, but I can't help mentioning a name from my own family tree. I had a great-uncle who went by O.B. That's because his folks named him Orange Bud Pickett. Yep, Orange Bud Pickett. I don't know if he ever had it legally changed, but OB is all he ever answered to, and O.B. Pickett is what his grave marker reads.
