All obvious nicknames. He’s given the name “Joe” by the undertaker who he has only just met.

Its like if you met someone at party. And everyone called him “Buddy”, “Guy,” or “Fwend” but he never tells you his actual name. Later someone asks you who you were speaking to. You’re not going to say, “his name is Buddy.” You’re going to say, “I dunno. Didn’t catch his name.”
