It's not a real name. Maybe a nickname for something like Sharon? Sugar?

Looking at all the other peoples' answers, it seems to me that Shug is a real name. But it's tough to say, with so many different nationalities out there in the world, you can't really ask every single person if they're called "Shug".

As a real name I had never heard it until reading the answers. If I hears one person calling another Shug I would assume that it was short for Sugar.

The name from "Shug" is Hugh. I'm Scottish and know a few men that have been called Shug. But their real name is Hugh.
I have no idea why!

I believe it is a way of shortening the nickname Sugar...Sug would be weird so Shug looks better...that was Marilyn Monroe`s name in the movie Some Like It Hot.

Usually it's just a nickname of a nickname. People will call someone "Sugar" and it will be further abbreviated to "Shug". It's not short for anything, unless the person's real name starts with the "sh" sound like Shelly or Sheldon or Shamus.
