His is more of a rhyming scheme. For example, my beatiful twin nieces Olivia and Siobhán were re-christened Livvy and Shivvy.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1298','kelly d'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Probably inherited from his Ma/Pa from Cork/Kerry, my own father has a nickname for just about everyone.

Agree (as a Dub, albeit a southsider) on the boring -o ones. Only other one I can think of is "Wacker"<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1274','aonghus'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I saw a note on Pat the Baker in the Irish Times today – a brand name from a nickname!

Expected some flak over the Dubs bit. Maybe that's why it's there, but I'm not saying.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1273','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Thought you might, Eolaí.

But not many. I don't know why. Perhaps men just put up with them better. There was a <i>Miss Piggy</i>, pre the Muppet Show, a hoity toity lass whose father reared pigs. (He was called <i>The Rasher</i>). And <i>Phone Jo</i> who was always in the kiosk. It was pre Joe Duffy so it wasn't that funny then. Gas now though. We had <i>Patsy Incline</i>. Patricia had a short leg. Come to think of it, that's class too. I don't recall any more. Maybe they'll come to me in the next while and I can do a second post.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1262','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Medbh – Some women got nicknames too.

Hilarious, Primal. Also like The Flab. Most of them seem to be made for men, though. What about names for women?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1261','Medbh'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Vlad the Retailer! Hilarious, Primal.
