Empress_Flynn · 09-30-2008, 06:27 PM

Yes that takes me back! Wow... and I thought I couldn't feel any older...

I remember going to birthday parties and giving those as presents...

More hot chocolate?

**Mari** · 09-30-2008, 06:23 PM

*snuggles with Kittykat* How was tutoring? Oh, and have some remon-juusu against that headache of yours.
*makes Katya some*

katya · 09-30-2008, 06:26 PM

Remon-juusu? Does that work on headaches? I don't think we have any. :[ But Chi-chan (one of my tutees) gave me some "shigekikkusu", which were quite sour. Do you know it?

Rice milk, yes please and thank you.

I want to make so many yummy things now but we don't have very many ingredients.

I want some creamy soup. Mushroom, or cheesy broccoli, or maybe whitefish chowder.

How on earth does one deduce Polly from Mary!?

Is this in the same category as William - Bill? >_<

katya · 09-30-2008, 06:38 PM

And Peggy from Margaret? Or did I imagine that one?

Empress_Flynn · 09-30-2008, 06:39 PM

No, you got that one right Katya, lol... I had an aunt Peg who's real name was Marguerite...

Similarly, how does one get "Dick" from "Richard"?

**Mari** · 09-30-2008, 06:40 PM

You people have weird naming constructions...

Dutch names are logical! Adopt a Dutch name!

Empress_Flynn · 09-30-2008, 06:41 PM

Okay... give us all Dutch names, Mari

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-30-2008, 06:42 PM

I live to serve.

katya · 09-30-2008, 06:43 PM

Yeah I want a Dutch name too Mari!

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-30-2008, 06:45 PM

I like "Holly" from "Natalie"

Spiffing! Well... they spelled my name wrong, but I already knew what it was a version of.

They always spell my name wrong

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-30-2008, 06:52 PM

The whole naming business is so weird, imo. I just hate when someone tells me, "The new baby's name is Annabelle, but we're going to call her Stacy," or "Her name is Mary Katherine, but we're calling her Kate." If you want the child to be Kate, put that on the birth certificate. It's one thing is the neighborhood just refers to Junior as "Stinky" as a matter of policy. But the parents should like the name they pick.

*glomps everyone.*

I has a new bird. Poor baby needed a home.

katya · 09-30-2008, 06:55 PM

Some of these nicknames are really cute. They make me want to either write stories or adopt kittens (or both).

Katya is a Russian nickname for Katerina by the way.

And apparently Jeannie is a nickname for Jean but I got called Jean as a nickname for Jeannine. And Jeannie.

**Mari** · 09-30-2008, 06:58 PM

Cool link, Sis!
Very Dutch female names are par ex. Wilhelmina, Johanna, Grietje, Marleen, Leentje, Alberta, Katrien, Truus, Trudy, Marianne, Willeke, Liesbeth, Ellen, Vera, Anneke, Janita, Floor, etc.
Some names are very similar to English names though, but our abbreviations are often a bit different: Wil, Hanna, x, Mar, Leen, Berta, Trien, x, Truus, Mar/Marrie, Wil, Lies/Beth, El, x, Anke/An, Nieta, x

Take your pick

I'm off to bed now though. Good night! *tackles the people in sight*

EDIT: Sis, here it is normal to put names like that on the birth certificate and call them differently. Like Anastacia Elisabeth gets contracted to Anabeth. Or Maria Johanna to Marianne. In fact, on most official documents you are asked to fill in your official names and the name by which you are called. It's the same for me. I have 2 official names and 1 calling name.

EDIT 2: Sane, congrats! What sort of bird is it? And what did you name him/her? Can I pet him/her?

katya · 09-30-2008, 07:01 PM

'night.

It's normal, but it's wrong.

I have a very strong internal compass.

That sounds so Dutch! Hagelslag..

Oregon Trail! Other people have heard of that game!?

We played that game in like 1998 in Computer classes, and steering that raft down the river was always the hardest part. Was always fascinating to see how many pounds of meat that got wasted on the trekking. Always led to someone's death

And yet your own name Mari is one of the most common in... Norway!

Has anyone multiquoted that much before I wonder.
