[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I’m the first to mention Millie and Mildred which is the quintessence of this thread.[/quote] Yes, because the "-dred" part of Mildred is so dour. Different from like Gertrude/Gertie, where it's actually the "gert-" sound that is kind of unpleasant, so the nickname doesn't fix it. Though another I think of is Margaret/Marge, but I like Margaret and don't like Marge. So many cute nn for Margaret (Maggie, Daisy, Margo, Megan, Peggy, Rita) and Marge is so... ugh. But actually the one person I've known who went by Marge was from this super WASP-y family and I think it was a flex, like when rich people wear really worn out clothes or drive old beat up cars. Like "we're so rich/aristorcratic that we gave our lively daughter this hideous nickname and no one cares."[/quote]
