This far south "Bubba" is considered a real first name.
Might just be a nickname at first, but it develops into some redneck guy's first name for all non-legal purposes, and sometimes the legal ones! lol
Generally Bubba is a kinda blundering overweight redneck who is loved by all, and he has a tendency to drop in right at supper time
I also know a lot of southerners who use the name Bubba in place of 'brother'. Once they have a second child, they start speaking to the baby about her 'Bubba."
"Honey, is that your big Bubba?"
Have any of you seen it used this way?
Even tho I'm southern I "Really" Really" Really!!" Do Not like to hear anyone called "BuBBA" !!! When my son was born my SIL law ask my daughter how did she like her new "BuBBA" I quickly corrected her and said he is her "Brother" and we will not be calling him BuBBA!!!
