While weâre on the subject of names, is there an explanation for how traditional nicknames came about that are seemingly unrelated to, or have little in common with, the original name?
ie- John/Jack, Richard/Dick, Henry/Harry/Hank, Charles/Chuck, Margaret/Peggy/Daisy, Sarah/Sally, Mary/Molly, Anne/Nan, etc
I am actually over a week into researching a huge follow-up post (probably more than one if Iâm being honest) about the history of nickname usage, so I will be going into this in much, much more detail at a hopefully not-so-later date - if I have not lost my mind. (Two days ago I spent three hours chasing down a source lead that turned out to be a typographical error from 1727 that was then quoted in source after source for the next 150 years.)
As a preview though, hereâs some info about the names you mentioned:
The origins of a good portion of common English nicknames come down to the simple fact that people really, really like rhyming things. Will đ Bill, Robđ Bob, Rickđ Dick, Megđ Peg.
It may seem like a weird reason, but how many of you have known an Anna/Hannah-Banana? I exclusively refer to my Momâs cat as Toes even though her name is Moe (Moesie-Toesies đ Toesies đ Toes).
Jack likely evolved from the use of the Middle English diminutive suffix â-chenâ - pronounced (and often spelled) â-kynâ or âkinâ. The use of -chen as a diminutive suffix still endures in modern German - as in âliebchenâ = sweetheart (lieb âloveâ + -chen).
John (Jan) đ Jankin đ Jackin đ Jack.
Hank was also originally a nickname for John from the same source. I and J were not distinct letters in English until the 17th Century. âIankinâ would have been nearly indistinguishable in pronunciation from âHankinâ due to H-dropping. Itâs believed to have switched over to being a nickname for Henry in early Colonial America due to the English being exposed to the Dutch nickname for Henrik - âHenkâ.
Harry is thought to be a remnant of how Henry was pronounced up until the early modern era. The name was introduced to England during the Norman conquest as the French Henri (On-REE). The already muted nasal n was dropped in the English pronunciation. With a lack of standardized spelling, the two names were used interchangeably in records throughout the middle ages. So all the early English King Henrys would have written their name Henry and pronounced it Harry.
Sally and Molly likely developed simply because little kids canât say Râs or Lâs. Mary đ Mawy đ Molly. Sary đ Sawy đ Sally.
Daisy became a nickname for Margaret because in French garden daisies are called marguerites.
Nan for Anne is an example of a very cool linguistic process called rebracketing, where two words that are often said/written together transfer letters/morphemes over time. The English use of âanâ instead of âaâ before words beginning with vowels is a common cause of rebracketing. For example: the Middle English âan euteâ became âa newtâ, and âa napronâ became âan apronâ. In the case of nicknames the use of the archaic possessive âmineâ is often the culprit. âMine Anneâ over time became âMy Nanâ as âmineâ fell out of use. Ned and Nell have the same origin.
Oddly enough the word ânicknameâ is itself a result of rebracketing, from the Middle English âan eke (meaning additional) nameâ.
I realized earlier this week that my cat (Toeâs sister) also has a rebracketing nickname. Her name is Mina, but I call her Nom Nom - formed by me being very annoying and saying her name a bunch of time in a row - miNAMiNAMiNAM.
Chuck is a very modern (20th century) nickname which Iâll have to get back to you on as I started my research in the 16th century and am only up to the 1810s so far lol.
#names#nicknames#onomastics#history#asks#nicknames are really hard to research you guys#there is so much info out there and it's almost all nonsense#and I'm talking academic books with listed sources not buzzfeed listicles#some guy in the 18th century forgetting to mention Bill on a list of common nicknames does not mean it wasn't in use at the time ma dude#i've had to get very creative with sources#god bless word for word murder trial testimony

my mom and I bond so much over high profile trials. she was on a murder-kidnapping jury once, then a grand jury for a year, and I've been foreman on a civil case and a criminal case. she likes to watch the live coverage and I like to listen to her takes on it.
regarding the murdaugh trial, I only listened to murdaugh's cross. mom watched the talking heads tear the prosecutor apart for letting murdaugh say more than yes or no on the stand but of COURSE the prosecutor was letting him talk!!!! he was just making everything worse for himself!!
anyway, the jury came to the right decision.
#trial talk#my mom could have a podcast doing commentary on cases from a juror's pov#it'd be popular!!!#she was sure she'd been blackballed since her grand jury didn't allow many indictments#she and another lady would convince everyone else that the prosecution's case was weak#but she received a summons a couple months ago!

Instead of writing a fanfic like a normal person this oneshot turned into two separate, contextless things,
#sorry itâs how my brain works (sometimes can only see things in terms of tv scene-)#tumblr exclusive video fancyâŚ#dcmk#my art#(quietly coughing and spluttering) OK alright I can feel the creative brain explosion slowing down. geez#coughs.#nyways. weird that there hasnât really been a main case where poison is involved in a certain way#If I watch my own scribbled boards for too long im gonna get too embarrassed to post. Send post#Subarus hair is still infuriating by the way like take that off your normal hair is easier. The beanie is easier#you like Have to have the side corners on this haircut or it doesnât look right#anyways. shiho ptsd moments I think she kind of gets irritated that shinichi doesnât react the same so when he does she gets like#weirded out and vindicated and a little protective.

Hmmmmmm#I like her. love of my life miyano shiho#masumi sera#conan edogawa#ai haibara#akai shuichi#let conan swear.

I believe it was a divine intervention who wrote Will Solace on the narrative because how the fuck is he so interesting with so little screentime in the original series? This child who lost siblings and couldnât even mourn them because he was dragged left and right to help, this child who became a talented and great healer at the ripe age of 12 and became a prodigy at 13, this child who kept absorbing pain and pushing down anger, this child who faced his trauma with a Trademarked Solace Smile and makes everyone feel safe besides himself, this child who had to be a dependable pillar, this child who saw death for so many times and had to accept it, this child, this child, this child whom everyone turns to at all times, this child whoâs still only 16 and hasnât properly been himself much because he has a duty that he loves and must upholdâhelping and healing, something he deemed he could only do for others because he believed couldnât do anything else. This child who got so scared when his best friend went missing, when his remaining siblings went missing, when he thought his father didnât recognize him. This child who swallows his sadness. This child who was afraid of not being enough, who was afraid that people might leave him if he wasnâtâthis child was afraid of people leaving him, because his own Dad did, his relationship with his Mom was not told much, the older siblings he loved left him by death, and he was nervous if Nico will leave him too. This child who feared losing the love of his life so he turned to his anger, his rage, his wrathâall pent up and went loose for a few minutes at Night herself and gave her a fucking hay fever. This child who had his own identity, who had and still has endless possibilities regarding who he is, his powers, and feelings yet reduced to just being a silly, goofy, perfect boyfriend healer of Nico di Angelo who never had a bad day and is stableâand some people loathe him for being âNicoâs Boyfriendâ as if itâs his fault. This child is William Andrew Solace and I believe none of us has truly met him fully.
#will solace#PLEASE LETâS TALK ABOUT HIM#he has a lot of potential and he is overlooked#people look at him but have you SEEN him truly?#do you all REALLY understand him?#and SOME people hate him because heâs Nicoâs boyfriend.#it is not his fault why he is. Nico chose him. stay pressed.#he is not Nicoâs either#he is his own person why do people forget that too#will solace is an interesting and complex character#i could write ESSAYS#percy jackon and the olympians#heroes of olympus#trials of apollo#the sun and the star

This is based off of that one tiktok from @sorruna where itâs the audio from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse.
ââ
Dick Grayson was a sneaky, intelligent little shit.
He was also dumb. These things are not mutually exclusive.
To this day, one of his best kept secrets- one of the many, many that he had now- was something heâd take to his grave.
Or to Jasonâs grave, at least.
Dick sat down and began telling the story to ears that would never truly hear it.
ââ
Batmanâs voice rumbled behind him as Dick, in his Robin suit, stood blankly on top of a roof.
âI know you snuck out last night, Robin.â
Dick froze, train of thought about his dinner derailed. Holy busted, Batman! Quick! Play dumb!
âWhoâs Robin?â He asked, the years of performing in front of a large crowd coming to save his ass.
Not that dumb!
Batman sent him a dry look, reprimand already poised on his lips. Dick, however, was nothing but a good performer. Nay, a dedicated performer.
Quick! Do something out of character! He shouted at himself, panicking visibly. He stepped backwards, an idea appearing in his head. In his defense, it sounded like an amazing idea at the time. He had no idea it would blow up into a Justice League issue. If he had known⌠Dick would have lied better, probably. There was no way he was going to let B bench him for weeks!
âWho the fuck are you?!â He yelped. Dick apologized mentally to Alfred and his parents. Batman paused, stunned.
âThatâs my question. Who are you?!â Bruce asked, immediately hostile. His son doesnât curse. Well, not in any normal way anyways. Dick quickly backpedaled by yelling at him with a heavy Vlax dialect, missing his parents terribly as he screamed stranger danger in rudimentary Romany. After this, he was going to have to convince Bruce to get him a language tutor. He refused to forget one of the only ties he had left to his parents.
âWait, wait- youâre my son.â Bruce replied back, in perfect Romany. He looked more convinced but still skeptical.
âMy dad is a circus performer! Not a flying rat!â Dick screeched back. He couldnât help but feel touched about Bruce seeing him like a son.
âOy! Keep it down out there, you assholes! Some of us like our sleep, damn!â A random Gothamite screamed out of their window.
âYo, shut the fuck up! The vigilantes are helping to keep the rent low, motherfucker!â Another Gothamite shouted back.
âŚ.
Needless to say, Bruce quickly brought Dick back to the cave- with precautions to make sure he didnât figure out where the Cave was if Dick was actually someone else.
ââ
âYou would have loved it, Little Wing. B was running around like a headless chicken. The memory loss protocol was actually made because of me, you know.â Dick chuckled, sniffling as he talked to the carved gravestone.
It did not reply.
ââ
The blood tests came back. Yeppers, Dick sarcastically thought, who woulda thought Iâm me?
Reinforcements were called in.
Meaning, Batgirl.
âWatch him while I contact Justice League Dark.â
âYou think itâs magic?â Barbara asked.
âYes. There was no one else near our vicinity that could affect Dick like this. He has no head wounds.â
âEesh. Okay, go. Iâll watch him.â
Bruce disappeared in his zeta tube, looking harried. So, to everyone thatâs not a Bat, he looked absolutely terrifying.
âWhat did you get yourself into now, Boy Wonder?â Barbara sighed. Dick was careful to keep any signs of recognition out of his face.
âStop calling me that! Where are my parents?!â He asked back. Barbara coughed and looked uncomfortably away.
Thatâs right, Babs. Iâm pulling out the orphan card. Feel bad. Dick hid his feral grin.
âTheyâre⌠uh, busy.â Busy being dead, Barbara thought, immediately wincing at her own thoughts. Apparently, Dick thought the excuse was lame too, and he sent her an incredulous look.
âWould you like refreshments, Master Dick?â
âWhat?â
Alfred held out some cookies on a platter, giving Babs a quelling look as she tried to reach for his share.
âOh, wow, these are really good!â Dick said as he shoveled cookies into his mouth. He tried to replicate the reaction he had when he tried these for the first time, and from Alfredâs satisfied look, Dick nailed it.
ââ
âRobin doesnât remember who he is.â Batman rumbled as he all but dragged Zatanna and Constantine by the scuff of their jackets towards the zeta tubes.
âHey, wait-â
âWe have no time.â Batman snarled, tossing the two magic users into the zeta. He punched in the destination.
When they got there, he glared at the two magic users until they got into the cave.
âDamn, Bats. Really living up to your name, huh?â
âNot bad,â Zatanna said as she looked around.
âRobin,â Batman- Bruce- reminded them. He did a quick glance over to check on his kids, and found them satisfactorily uninjured. Though, Barbara was looking worse for wear. Bruce quickly found out why as she stalked to him.
âYou deal with him.â She muttered. âIâm going home.â
Bruce blinked and nodded. âGet home safe.â
Zatanna and Constantine followed Batman as he walked towards Robin. It was odd to see the normally laughing child frown.
âItâs you! The kidnapper! Where are my parents?!â
Bruce winced which, for him, was akin to a full body flinch and recoil. No wonder Barbara was so tired.
âFix it.â
âDonât get your knickers in a twist, Batsy.â Constantine grumbled.
âWell help, Batman. Though⌠Iâm not sure if he should be doing that.â
Bruce sharply turned his head back to where Dick was. Emphasis on was. Because now, heâs halfway up the giant dinosaur the Robin had insisted they keep.
âRobin, get down from there!â
âStranger Danger!â Dick hollered back.
Batman- Bruce Wayne- sighed.
âThatâs high level magic,â Zatanna hummed. âI canât feel anything, but I know for sure that he wonât die. Magic like that either dissipates naturally orâŚâ
âLasts forever,â Constantine finished.
Bruce groaned, shooting off a grappling line and swooping upwards to catch Dick as he fell from the giant dinosaur.
ââ
âI pretended to get my memories back later,â Dick chuckled. âAnd pretended to forget the whole thing. Bruce was so relieved that I stopped knocking things over and trying to do cartwheels in high places that he totally forgot I snuck out.â
Dick patted the headstone.
âBut between you and me? Iâm pretty sure Alfred knew. I think B pissed him off that week.â
#yâall is the Romani language spelled Romany#idk if im reading that wrong but did you know the Vlad dialect is the most widespread?#nightwing#dick grayson robin#dick grayson#dick graysonâs gaslight gatekeeper girl boss moment#Bruce Wayne#Batman#Batman and the trials of parenthood#google what to do when your vigilante child seems to have forgotten that heâs a vigilante#Batman using the magic Justice League like a wiki how#minors angst disguised as crack#also my favorite thing to write is brice and dick coping by talking to graves#but not actually talking to the graveâs owner who is actually alive#dick gets better about it#Bruce? not really#English is the fucking worst#Jason Todd#jason Toddâs grave
