Do you ever wonder where short names come from?
You know, how did Cindy come from Cynthia? That one isn't such a stretch but how do you get Bill out William??? Or Bob out of Robert?? How do you get Dick out of Richard?? How about Bess for Elizabeth, Bonnie for Yvonne or Maggie for Margaret? There are a lot of names that come from Elizabeth ~ Liz, Beth, Liza ~ those all make sense. Just like Vicky or Tori from Victoria makes sense.
Just wondering.
