[quote=Anonymous]WASPs keep using the same few names over and over and within the same generation, so in order to eliminate confusion, a distinctive nickname is bestowed upon the child at birth or soon thereafter that likely will have very little relation to birth name. So, Catherine Mary Hopkins will be forever known as Ticky, because this is what her younger brother called her when trying to say "sister" as a three year old. John Warren Calhoun III will be called Warren or "War" because granddad was Jack and Dad's JW.[/quote]
