I once met a guy (huge, relaxed, cheerful, muscular, happily married) who was introduced as Dosie. This is the Afrikaans diminutive of 'doos', which means 'box'. He was so small as a new baby that he was kept in a shoe-box instead of a cot. Cute, right? Except that as well as meaning a box, a doos is also an insult along the lines of 'dick-head' and for much the same reason. I've been told that 'box' in American English can be used to refer to very private female parts ...

Yeah, poor guy. But I also know a Tug who pronounces it 'Toog' with the same vowel as in 'book'. In his case it was a childhood version of his actual name, Hugh.
