Word is his mother started calling him Coco at a really young age. I mean come on would you want to go by Covelli?
I heard this when he played for the Indians.

Another old time baseball name that I love is "Cookie" Lavagetto. What a name!! He is best known for breaking up a no-hitter (after 8 and 2/3 innings) in a World Series game back in the 40's.

I did not know that but if my parents were silly enough to name me Covelli Loyce I'ld come up with a nickname too!

Because Covelli Crisp doesnt sounds quite as fun. His family gave him the name at a young age and it stuck.

I did know that, actually, and Trot's real name is Christopher, did you know that one?
Coco's is a nickname, originally given by his Grandmother, I think. I rather like the name Covelli, personally.

I recall from a broadcast that his grandmother started calling him Coco as a nickname when he was a baby and it stuck.

It's way better than my grandfather's brother, whose nickname his mother gave him was "baby".
He was the baby in the family and the nickname stucked until his ripe age of 90s.

Maybe that is what he has been called since childhood; if i had a name like that i would come up with a nickname as well!
