I worked with an older White gentleman in Florida and for three years I called him Glen because that's what everyone else called him. One day he started telling a story about his childhood and turns out Glen is his nick name, his real name was Harvey. We all got a chuckle out of the fact that we never heard "Glen" as a nickname. Then he said, "if you think that's funny my older brother never uses his real name". We asked and he replied that his brother's name is Cletus. Of course we fell out laughing. Just goes to show you odd names come in all colors.
