Bavksi is an old nickname which is a bastardisation of my real name.
One of my mates used to do this with everyone's name and my nickname evolved thus:
Dave Cole
Davil Knavil (like that daredevil with the pretty helmet)
Bovril Knovril (adding a bit of that 'popular' warm drink in there)
Bavski Knavski (making it sound a bit more Russian or something)
The names this guy used to call me may have evolved further, but it was the Bavski thing that stuck. Snore.
