Nicknames Continued

Alright, here I am again....One of my sisters was called cuppie (pronounced cup ee) gee I wonder why I guess you would have to know our last name...Another nickname of mine was monkeyshines I was born in the year of the Monkey...One of my Dad's cousins was Rosebud her mom's name was Rose(her name was Jane) There was this thing in my Dad's family too two of many names like Big Eleita and Little Eleita. Two people named Aldas and to make sure everyone knew who anyone was talking about one was called Barney. I don't know where that came from. My dad was called Douse short for the French pronouciation of Aldas. Now to the people Who frequently come to my house...Emily and Eric this is how we arrive at Emric.(They happen to be dating)A-fresh is also known as Andrewinski or A-daug. J-Money is really neat because after we have started calling him that for a nickname, we all find out that his dad was called J-Money also..B-Ford is a combination of his first name and part of his last name. Gabrieo is just....mmmm....just no way to explain him.....Sorry Mike I really do love you in my own special way...I have also noticed that nicknames change as people grow older or as they change jobs. If one really thinks about it names or nicknames can be pretty fascinating...

    I've been thinking. Instead of "Shelby" as a nickname, we should take something out of the name "Elizabeth" which happens to be my middle name. Shelby can seem kind of random, but if we take something out of Elizabeth and make it snappy, I think it will catch on very quickly, and people will understand where the nickname came from. Yeah, let me know what you think.
