However, I have long known about nicknames, or by-names, in use in Cellardyke, a fishing village in Fife, in by-gone years (and perhaps still today?), where many individuals had the same given and surnames. Harry D Watson, in his book "Kilrenny and Cellardyke" [John Donald publisher, 1986] gives some examples in the CUNNINGHAM family such as "Baxter Rob" (= Robert Cunningham married to Janet Baxter) and "Harmony Rob" (Robert Cunningham, skipper of boat "Harmony"). As Harry says, "A man might be distinguished by either of of two female appellations – that of his boat or that of his wife." Harry goes on to say that in large clans a sub-group name may be applied before the by-name of the individual: eg the 'Barony' Watsons, the 'Singing' Watsons and the 'Forrester' Watsons (page 121).
