More about Bubba...
When I was stationed at Shaw AFB in South Carolina, one of the inprocessing events I attended was a "get to know the community" thing (more like Chamber of Commerce thing) for Sumpter South Carolina. The mayor introduced himself as "Mayor Bubba". I couldn't believe it at first, but none of the other local VIPs looked like they were trying to keep looking serious. Apparently the (multiply-reelected) mayor called himself that to reinforce his "good ol' boy" image.
I never did figure out if that was just his preferred "nick" or if that really was his given name.
