Oh my god, I can't believe Titty used to be a name.

Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons books, written in the 1930s, has a character known as Titty: the explanations range from 'Titty Mouse and Tatty Mouse' (another kids' book) to 'Scottish for Sister - Titty instead of Sissy'. More recent versions of the stories have changed it to either Tatty or Kitty. Mercifully, there wasn't a character named Richard and known as Dick!
