Re: Letitia
in reply to a message by Pie
Deep in my family tree there was a Leticia Muriel, born before 1910 and always known as Muriel. Neither was a family name till then, though she got a niece named Muriel after her. She told me that she had a boss once who used to call her Tish.
As a nn, I'd far prefer Letty, which sounds fresh and frisky and young. Tish really is sneezy! And as a spelling I'd like Laetitia myelf to keep the classical links alive.
Isn't Lettice awful? I can't imagine how the Victorians could enjoy it: didn't they eat their salad?
