I understand where people are coming from when they say ud is a redneck name as it has ben associated with cowboys in a lot of stories and movies. I personally am not a fan of it but do not see any reason not to use the nn Bud because a name really does nothing to determine personality, and I think that Buddy is a nice nickname. Maybe if she called a son Buddy when he was young his father wouldn't notice and would end up calling him Bud later on.
