There's something about the letters K, J, and Y that just feel trendier than C, -AI-, and G, and today's trendy name is tomorrow's trashy name.

R216 Absolutely. One's given name says more about their parents than it does us, but obviously, one's parents (and therefore upbringing) can ultimately emd up saying much about us.

There was a large-scale study done some time ago (I've got to dig it up) that found parents in the late 80's/early 90's who named their daughter 'Caitlin' (the classic spelling) were on average more educated, more liberal, and earned a higher median salary than their 'Katelyn' (or one of the dozens of alternative spellings) counterparts.

How did Edward Kennedy (the deceased senator, brother of JFK Sr.) become "Ted"?

by Anonymousreply 261December 10, 2023 2:52 AM

A google search brought up this explanation.

[quote]The name Ted is yet another result of the Old English tradition of letter swapping. Since there were a limited number of first names in the Middle Ages, letter swapping allowed people to differentiate between people with the same name. It was common to replace the first letter of a name that began with a vowel, as in Edward, with an easier to pronounce consonant, such as T.

Ned is another nickname for Edward..

R259 the only Rusty I knew (in the early 90’s) did have a mullet and also a huge Garfield memorabilia collection. Garfield everything!

I don’t remember what car he drove, other than it was a small two door deal, but it did have a couple Garfield window suction cup plush dolls.

R241 Well, I found this by Googling.

Why are Margarets nicknamed Peggy? Over the years, Maggie morphed into Meggie and Meg, likely because of accents changing the vowel sound. That continued to transform into the Peggy and Peg we know today, based simply on a trend of creating nicknames that rhyme. It's the same reason we have Bill from William.

Google is an internet search engine, btw.

R270 I'm really sorry if I spoiled your day. But I was answering the person (R241) whose post came after mine (R240) and was a comment on my post. And, no, I don't have a "rule" about not checking out posts before repeating something. I'm sure your mother must have loved you a lot.

Okay, so using the rhyming thing, I’m guessing Richard-> Rich-> Rick-> Dick.

That makes a sort of sense. Maybe someone had bad handwriting and misread Rich as Rick that first time. And it stuck.

R274: Frederick also gets shortened to Rick. Sometimes that seems more common than shortening it to Fred.

R278 No it's more rare. Fred is the more common nickname for Frederick.

I don't see anything remotely trashy about the name Renee -- or, for that matter, about many of the other names that have been mentioned here. What is with this nonsense?

As for Trey, I thought that was a nickname for boys and men who are also "the third" in their family with the same name, as in "Joseph Williams III." Is anyone named Trey as their actual first name?

I had a college roommate named Rusty. His trust fund was 7 figures (80s) and his dick 8 inches. Yes, he was a redhead, and drop dead gorgeous. We were both closet cases that year and never spoke of sex. Than I came out as "bi" sophomore year. He didn't for another 10 years. He wasn't trashy he was rich, brilliant, funny, and kind.

I saw his hard on a number of times. And we had a shower in the room so I saw his flaccid cock often.

I never sniffed his crotch. Pity.

He was working at Lazard in Paris last I knew, and had a young Vietnamese-French boyfriend, a model. Lost track after that.

Once upon a (real) time there was a wannabe pageant contestant named Michelle. She wanted to be Miss [state] and Miss America SO bad. When she finally had a chance, she let the directors "rename" her Misty. In the three years she competed for Miss [state] she placed 4th runner up, 3rd runner up, and then 2nd runner up.
