Hi,
Here's the site I use when deciphering nicknames for women... my cousin was
Fannie for Frances...
_Useful English: Women's Names and Nicknames_

Good question!

Are "Mamie", "Fannie" and "Molly" versions of other first
names?
Here are some examples of some I have found:
Hattie - Harriette
Grace or Theresa - Crescenzia (German)
Lena - Magdalena
Fronnie - Veronica (German)
Maggie - Margaret or Magdalena
Kate - Katherine or Catherina
Kitty - Katherine or Catherina
You get the idea, thanks.
Rita - Oconto County
