Eccentric nickname names like Buffy, Saffy, Bunty, Tiggy, etc.

Girl or boy, the sort you’d find in Jeeves and Wooster. Hit me!

Anyone involved in the horsey world will have heard of the international rider Piggy French.

I have a Biff (my son refused to call my daughter Violet by her actual name for 7 months,calling her ‘this baby’ but mispronounced ‘this’ so it was ‘Biff baby’
And a Taffa (Tabitha,but once again the little ones couldn’t pronounce it!)
They’ve both stuck 💜

Nannies to the landed gentry.

@puppymouse and @anonymousbird - my cousin had a friend pandora, who was "pandy" for short.... so it could be worse
She was exactly as posh as it sounds too - sussex private boarding school job...

You can't be anything but ridiculously lovely and posh with a name like that, to be fair, can you?!
