    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.
