I really cant think of too much. I know a Bradley who goes by Bud. I would say that any name starting with Bu or starting with a B and having a d in it would work as the full name. GL!

I went to school with a Buddy I thought it was nice. Do you like:
Budd English: Thickset person
Or do what we did I wanted to call my little guy "Cub" so we named him Jacob just turn Cob/Cub into bud and you know what no matter what a boy gets named he can and is most likely called bud or buddy anyway I always call little boys bud.

Either go with Bradley or pick a name you really like and call him Bud. Bud could work for any name.

I’m beginning to think you are right!!! That "BUD" is a nickname...with no connection to a formal name. I would still love to hear about all the BUDs you know, as well as their formal names. Thanks for the comments so far. Again, I would love to hear any ideas you all have!

My son’s name is Noah Colby. I have called him my "Little Buddy" since he was born. He is two now, and I call him Bud a lot as a shorter version of his nickname.

I have been called Bud my whole life and my real name is Alfred. I am a third generation Alfred. My grandfather was called Bud as well. We are originally from Switzerland. I never gave much thought to the nickname until I ran into an old German lady and introduced myself to her as Bud. She asked, \"Is your real name Alfred?\" She then told me Bud is a German nickname for Alfred. I went home and Googled Alfred Bud and a ton of Alfred Buds showed up with German last names.

My parents called me "Bud" for most of my life. I HATED it. If they had wanted to name me "BUD" why didn’t they do it?

Everyone calls my friend "Bud" and his given name is "Byron." That always made sense to me.

My dad was always called Bud, his given name was Arthur. I was told when he was a baby (in 1925) his nurse maid said "he was as cute as a little rise bud" Stuck with him all his life!

I have an uncle who is Always, Always called Bud.
His name is Issac-like I said, no connection.
We also know a little boy named Ryan who is always called Bubba.
I’d give up searching and just pick a name you love.
