Hi,
Here are a few nicknames to add to your list that I have run into in my
families. Will save this to FP and maybe add some later. I think a nickname
list is a great idea!!!!. Hope you have a lot of responses.
Amy - Amelia
Biddie - Brigetta (I found the name Biddie in an estate settlement and
thought Biddie = Betty, but when Brigetta sold the land he had a wife.
oops.
Birdie - Bertha
Gus- Augustus
Harry - Harrison
Jeb - Abijidah (this one didn't make much sense)
Jaunt & Jack - his middle name was Johnson and found references to 2 nicknames
Neal - Cornelius
Nellie - Eleanor
Stophol - Christopher
Letty - Lettuce (pron. la-too-see)
Letty - Charlotte
It appears from several records that Molly = Mary & Polly=Maryanne
Biddy -I found the name of a child Biddy in an estate settlement and thought
it was probably Betty, but later found it to be a male named Brigetta.
