This one's not even from the names database. It's a real-life example: Johnny Dickshot. Perhaps in the '30's and '40's the connotation that immediately comes to mind didn't exist? If it did, whoa boy, this poor guy must've suffered a lot of teasing throughout his life. Ugh! In the interests of completeness, his nickname was "Ugly". Ouch!
