I have read other sources besides that one, it was just one of the many things that came up when I Googled the commonly known trend of letter swapping. Plenty of adults also have speech problems especially noting the standards of education in the middle ages, so, it could have just as easily been a lack of formal education in adults that reshaped the nicknames.

Since none of us were alive in the middle ages, there is no way of knowing whether babies inspired the changes without a contemporary account that states that it was so, but thank you for posting the theory.
