For instance most of you know my daddy was known as “Pud” Smith. (Pud rhymes with “could.”) I have no idea how that developed. His real name...Malcolm Sirous Smith.
Kelly was called “Melvin.” Pretty easy to figure that one out since his first name is Melvin and it was used by his buddies to torment him...lol. Also “Little Kelly” by friends of the family since his dad was “Big Kelly.” “Little Kelly” remains to this day in some circles.
And I think we know two Cooters. Cooter Risher and Cooter Hawkins? In the case of Bill Hawkins’ dad, might that have been his real name?? We were even next door neighbors in our very early years and I don’t know the answer.
Anyone have other ones in their memory?
