english people love soundalikes as nicknames

jimmy comes from jam jim jam = jimmy

dick = richard -> rick -> dick

Chuck = Cha from charles + uck as a common diminutive ender

Alex (sand) dria -> Sandy

my favorite one is Margaret to peggy

Margaret -> Marge -> Meg -> Peg -> Peggy

I don't get how you arrive at "Sandy" from Alexandria, but also I am an idiot moron arguably using the Internet

Alexandra -> Sandra -> Sandy

also

Alexander -> Xander -> Sander -> Sandy

Replacing the X with an S happened in a few European countries in particular (I know Sander is a common name in the Netherlands), but people move around a lot more now so everything gets more mixed up.

Yea growing up like AOC is actually a pretty drat good way to see that disparity first hand. I had a similar situation, parents making a decent living and we were not financially stressed on a daily basis, but certainly not private prep school money so I went to public school and had friends who were both much better off than we were and also some who were really struggling. You could go to a party in a certain neighborhood and it felt like you were partying in a literal palace, then drive ten minutes to another neighborhood and it's borderline trailerpark territory and partying in somebody's unfinished basement.

that describes my experiences too. I live like ten minutes away from Biden's gently caress-mansion, and five minutes away from the slums of the Murder Capital of the United States. this is obviously a broken system.

Bill from William has always confounded me

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that like 400 years ago there was an English fad for nicknames that whimsically changed a first letter of a previously existing nickname, and so nicknames like Will -> Bill and Rick -> Dick are left over from that, and it's why the many nicknames for Margaret include not just Meg and Molly but Peg and Polly, etc

seriously, I grew up less-well-off in an affluent town, do drat well for myself, and I still resent the people I went to high school now living in million dollar houses that their parents bought for them when they graduated college.

i know one that's been handed three houses: one during school and then two three after graduation thanks to moving for new jobs
