I have brothers; Paul, Peter, and Patrick, so you'd think they'd call me Peggy but I was named after my mother's aunt, very specifically and even have her nickname. My high school guidance counselor whom I didn't know/see (my class size was 669) called me Peggy for some reason, just decided out of the blue that was my nickname. Was odd when we'd see one another in the hall and he'd greet me as Peggy and I'd look around trying to figure out who he was talking to!

My mother had two boy cousins and was close to the one who was close to her in age, John which is my brother Pat's middle name. I think it's interesting where parents get our names and why.
