I knew a Bubba. Legal first name.
He had a rat tail, of course.
Went to play at his house one day (fourth grade), and it was a typical suburban house. I rode past it on my bike to get to school.
Not a hint of white-trash about the situation.
It still perplexes me.

I notice people of certain age groups were fine with names like that, even though they seem like rather unfortunate names, especially as a given name rather than a nickname.
A coworker of mine has a grandson, “Butch”. Kids always getting into trouble, though.

it is. his mamma calls him 'bubby' because using his real name would create extra confusion at dinnertime.
