Posted May 27, 2009 by Malabarista - any plan where you dismantle the protocol binders and make silly hats is a good plan!
laugh I have an acquaintance called Katha - short for Katharina - who named her son Falk.

I've noticed how quite a few nicknames are taken from the back end of the name. Veronica becomes Ron or Ronnie, Patricia givign Tricia and so on. Where does Trinnie/y come from? Not Catherine is it? Maybe Katrina.

Coriander? Weird. Though people probably thought the same when someone first called their kid Daisey or May.
