Nickname. I was/am Harry C. III and both my grandfather "Big Harry" and my dad "Little Harry" were still alive and kickin', so I guess no one knew what to call me. May be I "bobbed around" when I was learning to walk or something, so I was dubbed "Corky". I never really knew how that name came to be. Later I shortened it to Cork. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ...
I heard someone say once that "Atonement" could be thought of as At-one-ment with God. You post reminded me of that. Thanks, Martin.
Thanks Cork for restacking this post.
By the way, I have never known anyone else with the name Cork, is it a given or a nick name?

You could say your folks were into viticulture, and you were a good crop?
