[Opinions] Re: Do you know any young people with completely non-intuitive nicknames?
Some of those nicknames are affectionate nicknames rather than diminutives. I've heard of plenty of women called Bunny who weren't actually named Bernice, but instead have the animal in mind. (I remember meeting a middle-aged American expat living in Brazil who went by Bunny, but her real name was Jane. Bunny was an affectionate nickname given to her by her older sisters.)
