[Opinions] Re: at least she had an actual given name ...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Thanks - I didn't know that! Just assumed that her LBJ initials attracted the future president, or that he'd invented a suitably initialled nickname. And it's my theory, though I can't vouch for it, that the further up the upper class you are, the more likely you are to have a family name, and then you'd need a nn for ease of identification.

Lyndon called her Bird, usually.
They did go with the LBJ initials for their daughters Lynda Bird and Lucie Baines. Even one of their dogs was called Little Beagle.

Towering ego, much?
