I had a friend named Fumi in Japan, and we were teasing each other back and forth during a big tennis club event, and I called him ふみやろう. The team loved it and for some reason that nickname stuck. I think maybe we were punning on the word やろう a week earlier, and so the name was one of those postmodern "it's funny because you're referencing our shared history" type deals.
