I LOVE THE NAME Ninnie where did you get that???

I have been called so many things, from Constanza (my Italian side of my life) to Con, Conz, Connie of course, and a host of other names, but I like Ninnie, it's cute.
connie
PS also it's rare to meet another Constance these days. I have met many just Connie, but not Constance. My middle name is Marie.
That's usually how nicknames start. Our little town is known for it's people's nicknames. First of all we're Cajun French. We are known to put T (short for petite {or little} in French) before male names. Such as T-boy, T-Jim, T-man, and the list goes on. When my baby brother was born, my baby sister was only 17 months old. My mother would tell her,"Say 'how-do, Little Boy." Baby Sister would say, "Ha do, B-Boy." You've got it. Today he is known as B-Boy. Some people don't know his real name. And then (I don't mean to be so lengthy with my story...) when the first grandkids were born, my dad wanted to be called Grumpy (kind of a twist for the French version of Gran-pa). Well, little Darren couldn't say Grumpy. He would say, "Gonky." Yep, my dad carried his name to the grave. When Father blessed his grave on All Saints' Day, he finished with, "Rest in peace, Gonky."



My Name is Constance Beth :roll: And all of my family use the whole thing when talking to me. :-D And all my friends call me Connie Beth, :lol: :lol: There are not a lot of Constance's in this world, that's for sure. I was always told that it was a good Catholic, Scottish name! LOL

My Grandson, would try to say Connie, but it came out Ninnie and now , I am Ninnie to my 3 grandsons. :-D And to all on this board.

:-D
:lol:

OOPS! Sorry. I've put my story in the middle of everything. And I don't know how to correct it, except to delete. So I'm sure you can find it. Right? Sorry Connie.
