[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 196801, member: 3907"] Lisa, you're not the only one. Not by half. One of my uncles (a dear family friend, really) is named Rudolph. But he hates Rudolph. So...all of his life, he's gone by Buzzy, sometimes Buzz. Even in business dealings, he is known as Buzzy. Buzzy's wife Claudine is the spitting image of her father James. So growing up she was always known as Little Jim. So they are Buzzy and Jim. Buzzy's brother is Winkie and sister is Dewdrop (I don't actually know their real names). I have an auntie Rajpattie, known as Pinkie (although in her case I can totally understand it). Even my GFGparents. GFGmom is Gwendoline, known as Betty. GFGdad is Elliston, known as Bob. Where GFGdad comes from, no one, but NO one actually goes by their given name. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
