Nickname, anyone?
I just realized that I have never had a nickname. Well, if you don’t count the mean nicknames (i.e. four-eyes) that little kids give each other in grade school… That’s the problem with having a name like Sarah. There’s no way to create a nickname from it. This, according to my parent’s, was intentional. Why they proceeded to name my brothers Daniel and Michael is beyond me if they were trying to avoid nicknames. Besides, in the grand tradition of my family, I should never go by my real name – I always thought my great-grandmother’s name was Virginia. When she died, I found out her real name was Vincenza. I didn’t know my great-aunt’s name was Angelina until I went to write out my wedding invitations – even though we’ve always called her Aunt Amy, people sometimes called her Betty, so I assumed her real name was Elizabeth. Nope. And the list goes on.
So, I think I need a nickname – anyone have any ideas?
