As I said earlier my father was christened Arthur Harold yet he was called Joseph even by his mother, and my mother christened Molly was called Alg why I do not know but they always called me by my full christian name which I came to hate at nowadays never use it even on documents, I prefer the shortened version.

Thank you all very much for the help regarding the derivative of the name Hettie. When reading the replies I remembered that when I was about 5 my family for some strange reason all started calling me Jane, where that came from I never understood. I had not thought about that in over sixty years. Thank you all very much for your help.

My mother told me her grandfather was Paddy Doyle - of course short of looking for the proverbial "John Smith" it couldn't have been more awkward to research.

My uncles were Ron, Mac, Lawrie and Norm. Now of Ron there was no sign until I found on the 1901 census he was actually John D. Mac was actually Cyril only Lawrie and Norm had proper derivatives. My dad was Leslie but known all his life as Pat. Don't ask me why but seems quite simple to some of yours I have been reading about!

My ancestors from Norway immigrated to the United States, homesteading on a small mountain in Northern California. They had a number of female children. They all had interesting nicknames: Sarah was Sammy Esther was Lec Gunda or Carrie was Jeffrey Buckeye There was another sibling with a male nickname that I can't recall right now. They were born in the late 1800s. They all packed pistols. I even have a picture of them with their skirts hiked up, with pistols on their hips. They had to be tough, so they gave themselves male nicknames! Go figure. Thankfully, I have the information regarding their actual names. If not, there would be a lot of confusion about who these "men" were. Nancy
Seems know one answer to this HETTIE nickname Ann. I had a similar experience with one of my grandmothers 5 year diaries, aunts with all nicknames... Good luck Cheers Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Gilbert" <jamesventnor@hotmail.co.uk> To: <hampshire-life@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 11:01 AM Subject: [HAMPSHIRE-LIFE] Nick Names Having been successfull the last time I asked for help I wondered if anyone knew what the nick name Hetty is short for. Found one site that said it was Heather but as far as I know none of the particularly family I am interested is called Heather. There are six girls in this family, Fanny, Ellen, Elizabeth, Rosanna, Chalotte (Lottie) and Mary. Maybe its just one of those nick names that happens in a family but thought I would ask you all what you think. Thank you Ann
My daughter reminds me that one of her friends at senior school was called Hetty - short, in her case, for Harriet. Margaret
