Today I thought I would tell you about my family names we all had for each other and were widely used outside the home too. I must say I can't explain why the names or what they meant. So I will leave it up to you all to ponder.
Grandfather was 'Twinny' and Dad was called 'Goidy'. Then there was Uncle Boo, Uncle Nitna and my aunt was Liggie. Her daughters were Tiggie and Babe. Only one of my brothers had a nickname and he was called Pomp. My grandad's brother's name was Apple!
And my name was Flip. That was the name I used until I left school at age fourteen. Only my teachers addressed me in the correct manner.
Hence, you will notice throughout I will possibly refer to Flip.
Keeping it short today, not sure if anyone is reading this any way but if you are, I thank you.
Flip
