And there's always good old ignorance, or unawareness! I know a woman whose mother-in-law was a supremely annoying Ellen, known as Nellie. She had only had one son, so never got the chance to name a girl; when her DIL was pregnant she nagged constantly about names, her own name, the baby's best possible future name ... none of which cut any ice because DIL had known from her schooldays that she was going to name her daughter after her friend Elaine, whose nn was Laine; that duly became the baby's name. "No way was I going to use that old bat's name" snorted her by now ex-DIL when telling the story, and when I pointed out that actually she had, she was gobsmacked, and also amused to think that nobody else, specifically the unfortunate Old Bat, had known either.
