The judges here at the man cave by the pond conferred, and decided that in this particular case, even if they allowed the nickname as his name (already questionable and far from unanimous from the panel), the last name itself, in this instance, completely changed the outcome.
Think "Oyster" If that were the only name, it would indeed be classified as seafood. However, "Oyster Shucker", would not.  However if both "Oyster's" and "Catfish's" last name was more neutral like Smith or Jones, you would have been awarded a full point.
Be careful, there is already some grumbling here about taking your half point back! LOL!

Although I don't know that they are really Double A ball.  A member of the Atlantic league though.
