Daily Prompt: “What’s the story behind your nickname?”

Easy enough explanation for this question,

My last name is Ludlum,

Often called “Lud” by my closest / oldest friends, from the first three letters of my last name.

Funny bonus, my brother and I often call each other by that same nickname we share,

“Lud”,

So let me simply say, you can call me Jeff, or you can call me “Lud.”
