My father, who passed away when I was seven, gave all his children at least one nickname. I always loved it when my siblings called me by one of my two nicknames: Gertrude or Theckla. It helped us keep him alive
My name must of been Karen because when I was introduced to people, they always called me Karen and I had to correct them . ( numerous times). Then I just quit trying although I felt bad because they couldn’t even say it right. Oh well. I can smile at it now.
Oh the joy of Nicknames! I’m Yoli and I adore it! Another favorite is Yo. My sons and great nieces and nephews are “angels”. My oldest son can be “Chuck” and my youngest “Scooby”.

I'm still laughing over Chunk Lite Tuna! A joyous thing indeed, nicknames. Thank you for sharing this!

Shemaiah, my kids, Wuskit and The Bear, would recognize this pattern. Thanks for passing the memories along.
