[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 665026, member: 12856"] My father was from the Kentucky. His formal name was Joseph Edward, but he was called Billy since birth. It was not until he wanted to marry my mother that he found out his real name. He had to legally add William to his name. He went into the military at the height of WWII and they assumed Billy was a nickname for William. They were not asking for papers at sign up. All of his siblings were given nicknames at birth based on what my grandmother thought they looked like. Their formal names were never used. My grandmother's given name was Mamie George. Her stage name was Bonnie. She was in a scandalous travelling vaudeville act in her twenties. She was born in 1891 and spent 104 years being a red headed spitfire. My grandfather was one of 13 kids and was named P. B. that was it. He was born in a cabin and his parents wrote the kids names and date of birth in a bible. [/QUOTE]
