Major General Joseph Hooker and also Lieutenant-General Joseph Wheeler.
Joe Hooker.
It happened by mistake - there was a section in some document headed 'Fighting', followed by 'Joe Hooker', but the name stuck.
Curiously, it was not viewed as a compliment. It was taken to indicate unseemly brawling, and Hooker did not appreciate it.
