MORE About Me...
My dad called me Timbocephus from time to time when I was growing up. He was a
Hank Williams fan at some point I believe.
Of course everyone recognizes the "Timbo" nickname. But going deeper into mid 20th century popular culture we find that Hank famously stuck the "Bocephus" moniker on his young son Hank Jr. There are several suggested sources for the "Bocephus" and you can find those on line very readily if you google it. Having said that, I like this one Best: The mysterious appelation that became part of American folklore in middle of the last century: Biblical/Latin Etymology: Some trace it back to a neoclassical blend of Beau (French for beautiful) and Cephas (the Aramaic name given to the Apostle Peter, meaning "stone").
