No, it was the other way around.

Actually, the origin of Bo Diddley's name is not clear. Bo talks about the origin of his name in the "Maxwell Street" documentary. According to that interview, Bo says that the local neighborhood kids in Chicago started calling him "Bo Diddley" when he was a young teenager.
