There’s a girl at my work called [name]Sally[/name], and it never occurred to ask her full name, cos…well… [name]Sally[/name]. Today I discovered that [name]Sally[/name] is short for… [name]Rosalind[/name]! [name]How[/name] weird is that?! I mean, I guess it works - [name]Ro[/name]salind. I just never saw that one coming. I guess I always thought of ‘sa’ and ‘l’ being in different syllables of the name, and all that. It’s so unusual! Her sibset, btw, is [name]Sigrid[/name] (family name), [name]Ondine[/name] and [name]Rosalind[/name]. [name]Just[/name] so cool and odd!
Anyway, it got me thinking - what are your favourite odd/obscure/counter-intuitive nicknames for girls’ names? For example, I now wonder if [name]Rosamund[/name] “[name]Sam[/name]” could work? Or what about [name]Hermione[/name] “[name]Hero[/name]”? Or [name]Beatrix[/name] “[name]Bix[/name]” (My friend has a character named this)? [name]Just[/name] any odd, fun, out-of-left-field nicknames you think could work or like! Please link the girls’ name it links to - for example “[name]Rosamund[/name] - [name]Sam[/name]”. [name]Don[/name]'t just say “[name]Sam[/name]”, or stuff like “Boogey [name]Bear[/name]”, cos y’know, that’s not what I’m wondering about
