Re: Unrelated nicknames
in reply to a message by Isis
I have a parent named nn.
Elizabeth Ann = Tracy
I hate Elizabeth and while my story is a bit more complicated you have not provided any possible reasons for the nns?
My summary you never know why a person has a nick name and that could be personal, or a great story. I was a adopted and they wanted to give me my own identity

Personally I understand people that choose names that fit better in the country/language they (now) live in. Also sometimes people really dislike their names, for whatever reason.
My interest is mostly in people that have a name (or names) on their official documents, but go by something different. Why would you name your kid something and then never use it?
I don't know anything about the adoption process, do children often have a name that is given to them by their birthparents? Any which way, its interesting how people view names and their impact on identity.
