I work with a guy named Charles who has a toddler-age daughter named "Charleigh", pronounced just like a mans' name, "Charlie". I thought it was a nickname but it's not. His wife's name is "Leigh" and they combined their names to get "Charleigh". I think that's kinda cute!
We're big on nicknames at work. We had one guy who has been called "Peetie" since he was a kid - his name is James. We've gotten mail addressed to him as "P.D. ..."! And at one time we had a "Rabbit", a "Squirrel" and a "Moose". Rabbit is in his 60's now and has been called Rabbit since he was a kid ... his daughter called for him one day and asked to speak to "Mr. Rabbit". :grin: We knew exactly who she was asking for! Most people never knew his real name. Rabbit is retired now, Squirrel died a few years ago, and Moose is still there.
We have another guy called "'Naner Nose" ... when you see him, it becomes obvious how he got the name.
