About Buster
An old-fashioned nickname in the Bud/Buzz/Biff mold; this one's kind of belligerent. Michelle Hicks and Jonny Lee Miller moved outside the box when they used it for their son--given the safer middle name of Timothy.
Buster is also given to girls.
Pronounced BUS-ter.
As of October 2026, Buster ranked #4919 in US births in 1918 SSA.
