I was born Jeanette. I go by Jenny to most, Jen to some -- Jeanette to my mom and some other family members. I like all those names. Don't call me Jennifer and we'll remain friends. But Jen, Jenny, or even Jeanette are all fine and acceptable.
Marci, who I call Marse -- though I've been known to call her Marse Farse Carse Larse, calls me Jen Jen Phen Phen.Emily, who I call Em, used to call me Jeanettey Speghetti. Maybe she just called me that once or twice, but it stuck in my memory.
I've always called my sister Lisa, Lees.
Quinn was Quinnith.
Later in college, that -ith transferred over to Becky, and she became Beckith.

I know I'm missing a few...but this was just from the top of my head. She already has so many names, and poor girl, I see no sign of us slowing down on coming up with any more! I mean really, is this normal?

My kids have so many nicknames it's ridiculous. I guess I'm just a nickname lover. I could give you QUITE a list. ;-)
Yes and I LOVE it! (I know she does too) Just don't call me Besty and we can be friends too.
Definitely normal. :) My Emily is Ems, Em, Emmy, Emmy Pemmy, Peanut, Moose, Cutie Face, Stinky Patootie, and on and on. :)
Don't forget about "Mander" and "Samander".
oh yeah...good ole Mander. These were one of her very firsts. I knew I was missing some.
