It’s Fun to Know: What’s Your Real Name?

By Suzanne Richardson

"I thought your wife’s name was Peggy," Jason said to Charlie.

"That’s what we call her," Charlie said. "But it’s a nickname for Margaret."

Lots of nicknames seem unrelated to their origins. You may know some of the more common ones – Bob for Robert and Jim for James. Here are a few less-well-known examples:

  • Jack – a nickname for John
  • Molly – a nickname for Mary
  • Hank – a nickname for Henry
  • Shelley – a nickname for Michelle or Rachel
  • Kit – a nickname for Christopher
  • Sally – a nickname for Sarah
  • Lisa – a nickname for Elizabeth
  • Teddy – a nickname for Edward
  • Buffy – a nickname for Elizabeth
  • Bud – a nickname for Edward
  • Libby – a nickname for Elizabeth
  • Chip – a nickname for Charles
  • Dottie – a nickname for Dorothy
  • Trey – a nickname for the third person in a family with the same name
  • Sandy – a nickname for Alexandra, Alexander, or Cassandra
  • Pip – a nickname for Philip
  • Pat/Patty – a nickname for Martha or Matilda

I can’t describe how helpful ETR is
“I’ve been subscribed to your newsletter for a long time, and I can’t describe how helpful ETR is. You give a lot of support – and in most cases, your articles seem to be written for me. Thank you for drawing my attention to some details which I hope will finally put me on the path to a better, richer life.” Theo P.

The Perfect Business Literally in Your Pocket
Flick through a step-by-step set of simple 1-2-3 instructions. Follow them (should take about 20 minutes). The next conversation you have, simply say the "Magic Words" per the instructions. The next thing you know, your bank account could start filling up.

Stop Playing Standard Stock Market Games
Spend just 30 minutes a day in front of your computer – using “tactical surgical strikes” to hit the market where it hurts. You could be making $5,000, $10,000, or more per week – whether the market falls, soars, or goes sideways.

Testimonials

I want to thank you for providing the ETR Goals Program

"I want to thank you for providing the ETR Goals Program.

"This year, with everything that I received by entering into the program – the workbook and DVD, the weekly planner, the weekly power surge messages, the twice a month teleconferences, the website forum, and Bob and Karin Cox’s personal phone mentoring – I have been able to:

  • "define my goals, keep to task on those goals, and accomplish those goals.
  • "improve my attitude toward myself, my life, my career, and those around me.
  • "improve my daily routine – make each hour, each minute, count – and use my time efficiently and wisely.
  • "in a professional manner, complete employment in one career and begin self-employment in another career.
  • "efficiently and without too many headaches move from one town to another.
  • "find a supportive school for my 6th grade son who is affected by ADHD and autism.

"This program has made ahuge difference to me in the outcome of 2008, and I look forward to Bob and Karin’s mentoring in 2009 as I successfully launch my home business… despite the doom and gloom we hear on the news!

"Obviously, I recommend this program to anyone who wants to get focused and get things done."

- Dave S.
