Help[Opinions] Re: My in-laws don't use nicknames
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I'm pretty sure that she would get Miri if I lived in DC.
Miri seems to be a Jewish nickname, there is a very tiny Jewish population here as opposed to other places. Putz is a surname in the area and Alexander had no idea why I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it - he was totally unfamiliar with the Yiddish insult.
Interesting enough my first encounter with Miriam was a Miriam nicknamed Miri. I fell in love with the name right then, although I didn't think I'd ever use it.
