Nicknames
I was discussing the topic of nicknames with a beautiful young woman the other evening over a glass of wine. I got to thinking that it would be interesting to see how many of the publicly printable names I can remember that I have had. There are various categories... family, friends, time periods, etc...but I probably won't put them in the categories. I'll put notes next to them if I have room.

I'll post more as they come to mind. There are only a couple non-printables. I'll let you think of them on your own.....

Yeah... there really aren't as many as I thought there would be.
You forgot the one I used to call you when I used to tuck you into bed at night. "Pecos Pete". Oh, and you were 2 years old not in high school as I'm sure Mr. Bergman was wondering.
Why did your mother name you maurice? What's your dad's name?
