Default nicknames, how many
I wonder what name wins for the number of nicknames within the name.

Patricia - Tricia, Trish, Pat, Patty, Patsy = 5
Elizabeth - Beth, Betty, Liz, Lizzy, Betsy = 5
Charles - Charlie, Chuck = 2
Bernard - Bernie = 1
Robert - Bob = 1
Richard = Rick, Rich, **** = 3
Abigail - Abby, Gabby, Gail = 3

So far Patricia and Elizabeth are in the lead unless there are more nicknames for them or you can think of another name that beats them!

Default Poor Richard!!!
When I was a kid, a certain nickname for Richard is now a name that the computer automatically kicks out as a four letter banished word!!!

I still know people by that name! LOL!

I think Elizabeth would win by adding . . .

Liza
Eliza
Bethie
Lisa
Ellie
Bets (Although I never heard of this one before, we have a friend with this nickname. She's great!)

That's all I could think of right now.

BTW - I learned that that name cannot be used here. I tried using it once when referring to the Sally, *ick, and Jane books that many of us learned to read with. I had to laugh when I saw what happened to it after I posted. Such innocent books completely censored. LOL

Cyn, I notice everyone is spelling Sarah as Sara...My name is a nickname for Sarah, but it's my name..Sally. I am of Irish Catholic decent, so we have lots of Saints names. The Nuns at school called me Sarah, because Sally was not a saints name....PO'd my Mom..

Speaking of Diff names, my Grandkids are Brittany, Leah, Nicholas, Kayla, Myah, Olivia, John and Alexander... (John was named after my DH/Ganddad)

BTW, did anyone mention Josephine (Josie) ? I love that nickname..my friend's GD has that name.
