My given name is Joanne, but when I was little, my Gramma Mae used to call me Jan...sort of slid over the 'O'. That stuck for quite awhile, then a cousin started calling me 'Queenie'...why, I don't know, but if he ever thinks of it, he's the only person allowed to still do so..:). As years passed, my siblings began calling me Jo, and many use that shortened version now. I do have one favorite nickname, though, thanks to a (late) consumer where I work. She couldn't pronounce Joanne, but 'Jojo' came out plain as day and it stuck! Memories!
