Strange Nick
Nick names?
I’ve just been reading various posts for baby names and got to wondering what nick names people had as children or give their children now.
My name is Rhiannon, and since I can remember my dad has always called me “Fred”. I have no idea where it originated from, and no one else on the planet has ever been allowed to call me that in the 21 years I have walked this earth! My 16yr old sister Sheridan somehow got lumped with “Ferret”, also by my well-meaning and ever loving dad. My 13yr old sister faired the luckiest with the nick name “Possum” or “Poss”.
I just find it strange how some people give thier kids nick names like the ones my dad bestowed upon us. I’m just bored and curious and wondering what goes through people’s minds when they name thier children…
My brothers and I always were called by our names, but my dad gave us each a nickname. Mine was Possum because I always slept late. My big brother was Booger Bear and my little brother was Bozo.
