OK some nicknames you can see where they came from like Katie from Caitlin. . but others. . .I don't see it

Like Bob out of Robert
Or, Dick out of Richard
where did they come up with them?

and William -----> Bill, I have no idea...

Teresa/Tess??? wtf??

im glad im just stuck with good ol' Austin

i like Mac

any one that knows me well know why

Theres a story that tells of the very first Richard and according to that story he was a real dick.

I guess it comes from old Enlgish accents

so, the english pronounces william as billiam? or robert as bobbert?

I've wondered that too...
But one thing I never understood was why "Charley" was short for "Charles"

... they're both seven letters long..

eat a banana!!!

my sis calls her husband rob...but i dont like the sound of that...so i still call him bob
