That doesn't nullify Mrs
Claire's point in the slightest. If someone named
Annetta went by
Anne because they didn't like
Annetta, that wouldn't change the fact that
Annetta is a pet form of
Anne that is used as a given name.
Zoetta looks and sounds like a pet form of
Zoe, and I'm willing to bet that it's a pet form that has crossed over to the formal name side.
