Is Boolie some kind of Jewish name? Is it short for something, or a common nickname? And what about Hoke? Those are two weird names.
I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
Fuhst, it's the sahth. Could be nicknames, too, they likes theyah nicknames dahn theyah.
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

Boolie did not show up on this name popularity graph but Hoke is there:http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=hoke&code=&gender=both
shareWow, that's about as unpopular as a name can be - one hundredth of 1 percent!
But still, what kind of name is it? I never heard of anyone with that name before, let alone Boolie.

With the exception of Daisy, all of the names in the movie are strange. I lived for a number of years in the South, and I never met anyone named Boolie, Hoke, Florine, or Idella.

Every now and then say, "What the *beep*." "What the *beep*" gives you freedom.
It's way better than the name of a friend of my cousin's. That friend's name is pronounced Shi-theade. But it's spelled like ****head.
"No officer! I swear!" Al, Toy Story 2
I had a great-aunt named Idella. Boolie and Hoke are unusual, even for the South.
"The end of the shoelace is called the...IT DOESN'T MATTER!"
I took Boolie as a Southern nickname that just really stuck.

I live in seriously rural Kentucky. Small, teeny tiny town. In fact, there's not a red light in the whole county. I had a great aunt named Chinetha (Chi-nee-tha) She had a sister named Luretha. (Loo-ree-tha)
Boolie is definitely an odd one. But not the oddest that I've ever heard. I've heard of men from around here that were named "Beulah" which would typically be a girls name I would think. But then again my great great grandparents were both named "George." His first and middle names were George Washington and her first and middles were George Ann. My great grandfathers middle name was Ward and the whole community to this day refers to him as "Wardy."
Names in the south are very confusing lol! Pretty much anything goes!
Also, just a thought, Hoke could be a simplified version of "Hogue" which is a popular name around my area.
shareCan't answer about Boolie, but I assume it's a nickname.
I believe Hoke is the last name of Morgan Freeman's character.
