Short and sweet

If Diana is Di
And Fiona is Fi
What else can Simon be
but Si!!!!!

I wonder how they will shorten their names next. Any suggestions?

Hope that doesn't mean Vidya will be 'Vi' :) Nobody has ever called me that until now, btw :) (guess that's just for western names)..

Wellll, anonymous, I end up shortening YOUR name to Vid :)

Gee, we shorten Indian names too! Rums, Shobs, Brin, Vaish, etc :)

PS. Did Papu have a look at the cute animals site?

Yeah, a lot of times I myself sign in mails/blog comments as vid. Most common abbrev. for my name has been vidu though. True we do it to Indian names too.. just that we're so used to it that we wont notice it.. like calling an anuradha or anupama 'anu' or calling someone called shyamala 'shyam' :) ;)
Vidya

Vid:
Well, I guess anyone, Indian or Western, can shorten their names. It is how they do it that is a different.

Shyam: Never said we don't shorten Indian names :) - I mean, look at me, Gee!!!! Just tossed those names into the blog as they were ones I heard that day....

Akka: Thanks for the list. Don't worry about being vetti - enjoy it while it lasts!!!

Confused: Long time, good to hear from u. I wonder what u will be - Ro? or Roh?:)As for me, hard name to shorten - the closest I've got here is Laksh. Maybe I will soon move on to La (la land)!

Sorry, Shaym, forgot to answer that last question - yes, Papu did have a look at the site and she luved it (so did I, actually). How can you help not luuuuuuving it!

Hey Di,
Don't jump to conclusions - I wasn't even thinking of you - I had only Princess Di in mind - and anyways, how on earth would I know that you call yourself Di or even D? Relax sister....
