Ever know a "real" Bubba? :)

...have not thought about this in years, though I know him still, for some reason it came to mind. Did you ever know a real Bubba? I did/do.
...Bubba was a kid down the road when I was growing up, Bubba was, a real, Bubba.
...Bubba's grandapa had some goats. Bubba thought it was fun to butt heads with the goats, till his head would bleed and he had knots on his head...[:D]
...Bubba also spent the whole day in the woods by our house, caught by his leg, hanging in a tree, upside down most the time, till his grandpa found him...[:D]
...Bubba and I were in the woods with our .22's. Bubba was walking in front of me, and a squirrel jumped off the backside of a tree as we walked by...landing on Bubbas shoulder...the Squirrel did not hurt Bubba, but it scared Bubba so bad he turned and ran about 10 feet right into a tree, and knocked himself out cold...practicing with the goats did not make his head harder...[:D]
...Bubba and I were shooting off firecrackers on the 4th of July. Bubba had Black Cats cramed in his front blue jean pocket. Bubba somehow managed to lite all of them in his pocket...[:D] No one has danced like Bubba did, before or since.
...Bubba and I found a BIG yellow jacket nest in the woods, probably 5-6" across and a LOT of yellow jackets were at home. Bubba said he could go up to the nest and snatch it off the tree limb without even getting stung...Bubba found out he couldn't. Bubba ran off into the woods yelling and slapping himself all over. I don't think Ive ever seen a human stung that many times...[:D]
...Bubba's grandpa also kept chickens in three chicken pens/houses. Bubba thought it would be fun to fight 2 roosters. Bubba got one rooster from one house and carried it to the other. Bubba did not throw the rooster into the fenced part of the chicken house, Bubba carried the rooster INTO the other chicken HOUSE where the top dog rooster was, after Bubba pin balled of the chicken house walls a few times, Bubba ran THROUGH the chicken wire fence, chickens got out. Bubba got his butt whipped by grandapa and had to fix the fence...[:D]
...it's all true. Bubba now has a wife,3 wonderful kids and a thriving business...[;)]

It is one thing to have that as a nickname, but as your true given name?
I had a friend that I worked with in Texas who's name ON HIS BIRTH CERT. was BUBBA.

I know a guy whose actual given name is "Ace"
I don't tell this with any sort of pride......

There's an Ace around here too. I live with a Bubba, but it's not his given name. Of course, none of his family, and about half of his friends, will refer to him by any other name.
