[Opinions] Re: Candy
in reply to a message by RDNZL
On its own? No, I can't say I'm a very big fan of it. I used to have an aunt named Candy (one of my mom's sisters) she passed away a few years ago, never really knew her though. Her name wasn't short for Candace or any other as one might think. Sherrie or Carrie or something similiar to those. I have 3 other aunts who's nickname that aren't tied to their names as wellPenny & Cookie (Sherrie & Mary I think) "you get a cookie for a penny" I guess they were inseparable growing upThen something about chokie on a candy.I primarily know the as aunt (what they main go or went by)
Penny, Cookie, chokie & candy (Candy the deceased one) Slightly weird. I know

Weird but adorable! I love those bizarre family nicknames that come out of nowhere.I had 3 great-aunts called Billy (Ruth) Nooky (Constance) and Doonoo (Julia). My grandmother Mary Juanita was known as Wean(Nooky was born in 1920. It didn't have that meaning in those days. Obviously the name was never used outside the family :-))
