My real name is Betty(not Elizabeth as the teachers use to make me write down). My nickname is Dee which I go by the most(and like better). When I was a baby I had an older brother that my mom tried to make call me BeeBee for short but he ran around saying DeeDee...that's how I got the name. Would you believe, I had a patient one time( I'm a retired nurse) with the exact same story and names?!!!!!! My grandma was Nellie and great grandma was Adellaide.
