Yes they do.

A few years back we had two Daves. The second one to join was younger,
so got referred to as "young Dave", which after a while he started
objecting to on the grounds that he was 30. Problem was solved when the
other Dave left.

One of circle of old school friends is a couple of years younger than
the rest of us, hence "little Rob." The name has stuck and he is quite
happy with it, depite being 6'2"
