The University not only uses the nickname "Tar Heels," but the entire state does as well. One version of the nickname's origin has the name first being applied to North Carolinians during the Civil War. One record talks of a battle in Virginia, where their supporting column retreated, but North Carolina troops fought alone. The victorious troops were asked in a condescending tone by some Virginians, who had retreated, "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" The response came quickly: "No, not a bit; old Jeff's bought it all up." The Virginians asked: "Is that so? What is he going to do with it?" The reply: "He is going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."

Not meant to be an insult (as some English think for some reason), merely a nickname for our less-tanned former rulers. Nicknaming everything is very Australian.

It's probably their names and titles.

I would say that 'Bud' is what is called a nickname.\n\nfor example George Herman Ruth aka Babe Ruth.\n\nI looked all over, but I couldn't get an answer.\nMy best guess is that it was just a childhood nickname that stuck.

Why would you say that?  The person using that name could just have a tilted sense of humor...

It's a part of protecting your privacy. The answers we provide might stir the beehive, so we might not want to reveal our identity to just everybody. That's why we are given the benefit of the a nickname (and anonimity). Of course, downright offensive answers are cowardly.\n\nIf this were a dating service, however, it might be different...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickname\n\nNicknames for people\nTypes of personal nickname: Also known as pet name, shortened name, truncated name, alternate name, name derivative, associated name, hypocoristic form of a name, diminutized name, or diminuted name. Sometimes related to "alias."\n\n[edit]\nRelating to given names\n1. A nickname may be a hypocoristic form of a person's first name. This is often a simple abbreviation of the name. For most English names the shortened form is taken from the first syllable e.g. Walt for Walter. However in many other languages it is much more common to use the last syllable of the whole name e.g. Italian Nino for Giovanni (via Giovannino, which is a diminutive form of Giovanni). Some abbreviations can use the middle of a word e.g. Liz for Elizabeth. There are a few names for which an archaic pronunciation of the full name is preserved in the short name e.g. Rick for Richard indicates that the -ch- was originally pronounced as -ck-. Some other nicknames were created by rhyming the shortened form of the full name, such as Ted or Ned for Edward (Ed), Bill for William (Will), and Bob or Nob for Robert (Rob). For those abbreviations that do not begin with the same letter as the full name, see list of short name forms.(See link above)
