Who in their right mind would name their son "Skipper". It must have been hell for him in primary school.

Over here in Oz that nick-name would have been typical of the lone Aussie kid in a school with a large migrant population, due to the popularity of the late 60's TV show, "Skippy the bush kangaroo". The migrants affectionately referred to the Aussies as "Skips".
In North 'murica, I suspect a skippy person would be associated with this;

Iirc, "Skip" was for a brief time a preppy sort of name in the US - kids from well-to-do homes who would probably dress well and be in all the "right" activities.
It always seemed a more fitting name for a border collie or Shetland sheepdog to me.
I think Skipper on the Minnow was more a title - the captain of a nautical vessel?

Haha I think I'll start walking like that everywhere I go and see how people react.
(Not really. I'm not quite that unselfconscious yet. But one day I think I really am going to wear purple and be goofy.)
