Some other early nicknames;

Cada for Recada
Cansadie for Canzada
Lollie for Laura
Maggie for Margaret
Meedie for Almeda
Min or Minnie for Arminda
Nice or Nicey for Eunice
Penny for Penelope
Becky or Reebie for Rebecca
Tempy for Temperance

Eli for Eleazer
Hank or Harry for Henry
Eck for Alexander

All of these were real nicknames of real people,
but not all from the Eastern Shore.
