    Not specifically baby name, but I went to high school with a guy whose last name was Bohnert (pronounced like boner). Guess what his nickname was.

    It was funny whenever we had a substitute teacher and they would do roll call:

    “…Bahnert?”

    “It’s boner”

      If his actual name is pronounced “boner” than I have no idea what nickname could possibly be more nicknamey than his actual name.

      Vadge maybe? Depending on how long ago this was
