from my research point of view, it seems that the Scottish were guilty of giving all their children Nick names, or, shortened versions of names , that no one else would ever consider. e.g My Grandmother Registered , Baptised, Janet , was known as Jenny ! Her sister Marion known as, May. I will not bore you with the names of remaining Siblings. No wonder that I had major problems finding family members, as many other researchers have also found after spending heaps of money. Mary
