DOOBIE

Whats in a name

HOME

I get asked by most people that meet me where I got the name "Doobie".

The story I got, is that a friend of my uncle Joe gave it to me when I was around 3 months old. The original version of the name was "little duber".
I haven't got a clue as to the meaning of that.They were both in the Army at the time so maybe it had some sort of significance?

The original spelling was "Dubie".
As I got older I changed the spelling to its current form.

Until I moved to Georgia most people called me by Doobie.
Lately only my family and my close friends refer to me by Doobie.
I still feel more comfortable with Doobie.

What did a nickname do for me as I was growing up?
From what I have heard,it has actually kept me out of jail at least once.
Believe it or not,a good many of the people that knew me never knew my real name.

In a Socialogy class I had, The teacher mentioned the fact that your name could play a role in how you grow up.
Look at everybody you know with names like Graham,Tripp,Doobie and see what their past was like.
