In Westflemish, we know the word "ge'tie" meaning a full meal. Maybe there
is a link with time.
I quote this because I saw in Liza's list getye, which in dutch is
"getijde".

In Danish we have øgenavn (though, it has a semi-negative sound to me
and I mostly use kaldenavn instead).

--
The Lowlands Saxon (Low German) equivalent of "nickname" is _öykel-naam_
(<Ökelnaam>).  This might support this "eke-name" ("add-name," "byname")
theory.  As far as I know, in the modern dialects there is no verb
*_öykeln_.  It looks like a frequentive (/-l-/) derivation of *_öyk-_, which
I assume is related to English "to eke."
