Yes. I had a relative named Herbert. His little brother couldn't pronounce "brother" yet. It came out as "bwuzzo." That changed to "buzzo." Everyone in the family, even his parents, started to call him "Buzz" and that lasted the rest of his life. In school and where he worked and even at his funeral. No one ever called him Herbert.
Great story and that really IS how a lot of family nick names originated.
