[Opinions] Re: Regarding some nicknames
in reply to a message by Elphi
I know a Jenelle who goes by Nell which is acceptable I think.
My brother Alexander's nickname is Zand.
Some odd nick names I've heard of are
'Peter' for a man called Ernest Archibald Maynard.
'Tom' for David Charles
Found it quite annoying, because I couldn't figure out where they'd come from and when someone said Mr David so and so, how is anyone supposed to know that it's Tom so and so? Crazy.
Having said that the nn my siblings gave me is Pinky / Pink, which they still use today. That came about by being called a made up word (pinkyschnokle) which was shortened to Pinky. It just stuck. Having said that no one outside my siblings would ever call me that.
ed. for afterthought.
