[HPforGrownups] Nicknames for Given Names (was: sharing an unimportant discovery ...)

My aunt is named "Bettie Ann." That's her real name, not Elizabeth.  And my
schoolmate's sister used to have a lot of problems because she was named
"Peggy"; all of her teachers and such wouldn't believe that her given name
was Peggy and kept calling her Margaret, etc.  Poor Peggy had to bring a
birth certificate to school to prove that her honest-to-goodness, legal name
was "Peggy Ann."

So, nicknames, even in RL, can be real names and, just as some folk may not
be happy with full names like "Garfield," (which I've seen as a first name),
there are those who won't be happy with given names like "Peggy."

<Sigh> ... I no longer use my given name; Lee is me now. :-)

Cheers,

Me...or is that Lee... :-)
