I like Toula as a nickname. The name is supposed to be Fotoula, which is in itself a diminutive form of the name,
Photine. Fortoula/Phortoula isn't an actual name or diminutive form, yet
Nia Vardalos clearly seems to put an R in it when she says it in the movie. That puzzles me a bit, but I have Greeks and research to back me up on the
Photine thing. :-)
