Re: Best nickname stories?
in reply to a message by misabi
I don't even know what my younger cousin's real name is but they call her Fee and they used to call her Fiona. Shrek was her favorite movie as a toddler and the nickname(s) stuck forever, lol.
My mom grew up with sisters who had the nicknames Peanut, Gwinkie and Burma. Yeah...yikes, right? Everyone knew them by those names. I do know Gwinkie's name is really Gwendolyn.
I knew an Elizabeth nn Bitsy; which is what she went by.
I work with so many people who go by names that are completely unrelated to their given names. Annoyingly, I can't think of one right now!
