Shaggy's real first name is Norville, which isn't the best first name, so it's understandable why he would have a nickname.

Another reason is his style. Shaggy has shaggy hair and wears baggy clothes. According to a clip from "Scooby Doo Behind the Scenes", Shaggy was known as Buzz until his 10th birthday. A picture of Shaggy with short hair is shown. (It's possible he was only jokingly called Buzz for a short time after a haircut. This is what I believe.)

Check out these videos on YouTube by following the links below. The first one is the "Scooby Doo Behind the Scenes" clip I was talking about. The second one is from "The Scooby-Doo Project". The first 40 seconds of it shows Shaggy's reaction to being called Norville. You can tell he doesn't like the name.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
