momwolf's name was Eileen. There are no good abbreviations for that, but was called Sissy or Sis by her siblings and Aunt Sissy by the nieces and nephew.
My name is very short, three letters, two syllables, not very abbreviable, but some folks who think that was not short enough just used the first syllable. Actually, there was really only one guy, one of the day ambulance fellows at the nuthouse, and in return I would call him "Ant". He was never a Tony, always Anthony, which I found kind of interesting.
siswolf also has a three letter, two syllable first name, and does not have any nicknames. Her name doesn't lend itself to further shortening. "Aim" is not short for Amy. I just noticed ... she has two consonants and a vowel, I have two vowels and a consonant. We both have been shortchanged on vowels in our last name. I do not anagram well. The anagram finder tells me there are only 10 variations, and none of them make a good sentence.
