"snooty" nicknames
I met a little boy at a bbq thing named Jonty, short for Jonathan. He had a brother Kit (Christopher). Their sister was Abigail, which I didn't think fit at all but whatever. These were all Americans, and apparently at the kids' daycare there's a Jem (James-- a Truly Outrageous nickname!), and a Betty (Elizabeth, although not that weird). At least among this set, Shakespearean-type nicknames seem to be all the rage.Is this the new trend for rich, educated types or is it just a New England thing? I used to like some of those names, but for some reason actually hearing them made me think otherwise (I think there was a thread about this last week). What do you think?
