Ms. Reed's name

<< < (4/11) > >>

ASB84:
I figured it was a slip-up, or that Vicky is simply a nickname that some of her friends use. Even if it's the former, the latter serves as a fair explanation to clean up the mistake.

Speaking of names and that story arc...I'd like to know whether Ms. Reed calling Claire "Clarice" was a subtle nod to Clarice from Girls With Slingshots, who, like Veronica/Vicky, is a dominatrix.

Storel:
I love Tom Lehrer.  :-D




No, not that way!!  :roll:

--- End quote ---

I worked with a Margaret that went by Peggy.

I don't know how that works.

pwhodges:
Peggy is a common short name for Margaret - details.

OTOH I know a Lisbeth who goes by Mab, and I have no idea how that comes about.

Zebediah:
Lots of weird nicknames out there. "Chuck" for Charles and "Jack" for John are the two that spring immediately to mind.
