[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dick and Richard Jack and John Peggy and Margaret Chuck and Charles[/quote] Many of these old nicknames, as well as the many nn's for Elizabeth, Henry, William, Mary, etc., made sense back in colonial or medieval times when they originated. We might not recognize where they come from anymore, but does doesn't mean the don't make sense. [b] Dick may come, [/b]believe it or not, from the English inability to pronounce the name Richard as it was pronounced by the Normans who introduced it to England in medieval times. I see what you did there. Heh, heh. :oops: Fascinating insights. Thank you. Etc.[/quote][/quote]
