			My name is Doug and my dad's name is Doug so I became Bubba to avoid confusion around the house when I was growing up.  I probably know 100 Bubbas, Buddys, Jr.s etc. in Texas.  During my 24 years in Southern California I went by Doug because they didn't speak "Bubba".  I was only Bubba to vaulters.  
To further prove a point, at my 30 year high school reunion in Houston, no one ever knew my name was Doug.  Friends I knew for years would say, "I never knew your name was Doug".  As they say in Texas, "Oil Well".
Have fun!  Bubba
