Cuin - I have some pretty odd nicknames in my family, too. Especially those that were nicknamed in the 30's and 40's.

Like: My uncle 'Speedball' (nuthin to do with drugs), Winter who was nicknamed 'Windy' and of course, Frankie for Frances. Marlyce, Gladys, Irene, Aunt Billy whose daughter was Bobby Anne, Jules, Diel, and Percy to name a few.

...and that generation named their girls two names: Diana Lynn, Diana Ray, Patty Sue, Donna Tina, Vicki Lee, Karen Marie and so on. The boys of that group are Linden, Martin, Garner, Dennis.

Names I hope have gone out of style forever: Jason, Travis and Justin.

The newest generation (0-5) have names like Jane, Oliver, Bradley, Anna, Max, Abbey, Emma, ...all very traditional and somewhat sweet.

BTW Littlehawk - I've been meaning to ask you; Is your mother's name Sabre or Sabra or something like that?
