  i think it is more a nickname based on physical size as opposed to shortening of a name.

  And I bet he was named after his ancestor, Buford Tannen, but he went by Biff which not only sounds similar, but again, goes off of the the physical aspect.

  I'm finding several Brians that go by Biff, but it seems to be an actual given name

  I'd consider it a stand-alone nickname.. not based on the given name.  Same as Lefty, Slick, Bucky and other random nicknames.

  Thanks guys :P

  Funnily enough, I hadn't even considered that it'd be a nn for physical size.  Duh.

  I had a boss once that had the nn Biff and I believe his real name was William - Bill/Biff?
