*Bop is also short for bebop - a style of jazz music typified by players like charlie parker and dizzle gillespie.
My name also refers to the song Boplicity by charlie parker. In fact, my nick in other places is boplicity - but I like the shortened version better.
It also has connotations with the anime show cowboy bebop.
I love how much meaning my nick has, for being so short.
What meaning does your nick have?
