A collection of nicknames and nickname variations used (so far) to refer people in the collection of late-Victorian letters I’m transcribing…
William - Will, Willie, Bill, Billy, Mr. Bill, Billiam, Ick, Icky, Bob, Deacon, Deac, Deak, Wheels
John - Jack, Jacky, Jackie, Fatty, Fatty-atty, Fatty-atty-atty-atty-atty, Mr. Fatty, Fatness, Sonny
Rachel - Rae, Rat, the Rat, Sis, Sister, Daught, the Daughtling
Eleanor - En’er, Tiger, the Tiger, Tige, Tig
Lawrence - Biff, Biffie, John Brown, John
This includes only proper nouns used as a substitute for their names and not any of the plethora of insults people have been called; i.e. “base, vile, perfidious, diabolical, unhumane wretch” (Will), “you conglomerate mass of Adipose Tissue” (Jack), “you Fat Egg” (also Jack), etc.
