Why Tiger Woods is called Tiger

[[Nook]]

So, there I was, browsing the Internet as usual. I went on Google and wondered where Tiger's name came from. So I searched it up, and....HOLY SHI-
Multiple links said that Vuong Dang Phuong, a colonel in the Vietnam army, had a friend also in the war named Earl Woods, Tiger's father. So, Earl thought that it was a good idea to name his son after Vuong's nickname in the war, Tiger. Oh, and for those of you who were wondering about the HOLY SHI- part, Vuong's my grandfather. He's not exactly famous, though. Do you have any "famous" or just "known" relatives?

EDIT: I forgot to say that on my dad's side, we're descended from a princess.

I thought Tiger's real name was Eldrick?

My uncle's sister aunt was the lady from Walker Texas Ranger.

Everyone related somehow. Even if you don't believe in the bible there had to be two people at the start who started to populate and populate and populate so we are all inbred morons.

Well, if you're going to claim that, then we are related to every living thing, from trees to bacteria.

And we are not all related to the same two humans, actually. It's far more likely that there was an entire population that achieved speciation at once, not just two apes that produced our tree.
