Childhood Nicknames

I remember two different nicknames I was called as a child (3-10). Everyone in Red Oak, Oklahoma called me Joe Hank since my middle name was Hansel, the same as my Dad's first name. He was called Hank, thus I was Joe Hank.

For a short while, my Dad called me Jocephus Orange Blossom. The Jocephus was probably based on Hank Williams calling his son Bocephus. I have no idea where "Orange Blossom" came from.
