Help[Facts] Re: Bill from William
in reply to a message by Random
Quite a lot of nicknames change the first letter because often families with several people of the same name needed more options for nicknames. So one family could have a William, Willy, Will, Bill and a Billy. Other nicknames that change the initial:
Margaret = Daisy = Maisy
Mary/Margaret = Molly = Polly
Margaret = Meg = Peg
Martha = Mat(tie) = Pat(tie)
Robert = Rob(by) = Bob(by)
It seems that M nicknames get change to a P and R nicknames get changed to a B.
