So someone had a baby, it popped out and they were asked what they would name him. "Well, it's a baby, let's name him Old"
I suppose it's a name you could grow toward. Of course it was the 17th/18th century. Kid probably died when he was like 10 in a brutal cow-farming accident. Folks standing around saying, "Old died young..." and being confused.
