For those who mentioned Goldie and Asia. I have those in my family. My mother-in law, who was born in 1913, was named Goldie. And I have a distant cousin who named his daughter Asia.

My daughter went to school with a boy named Wolf. I have a cousin named Temre which I have never heard before or since.

My mother's lifelong friend was named Frances but for her entire life she was called Fruzzie. Pronounced froo-zee. I'm not sure where it came from but I never heard her called anything else. Even her kids would refer to her as Fruzzie or sometimes Fruz (frooze).
