Um NO Kevin, the actual nickname was Bootstrap. That is that is apparently called him when he tried to stand up for ol' Jack when Barbosa led the mutiny against him(er me). For his troubles they tied his bootstraps to a cannon and sunk it to the depths of the ocean presumably to end his life. But fate had been extra cruel to ol' Bill Turner in that at the time it is assumed that none were yet aware of the curse, that wouldn't allow him to die yet not really leaving him alive either. Of course Barnacle Bill would be a good one for how he became after that.
