nicknames

Many of us have family members whose real names are "unknown". Some nicknames can be traced to the given names while others cannot. Nicknames are not some cutsie custom given to a baby or child simply because the parent(s) decided not to call that baby or child by their given birth name. Nicknames hava hisotrical dual purpose: 1. To ensure that the child would never grow to marry within the family--this was a forced practice due to enslavement. When young children were separated from their families, nicknames were used to ensure that they did not marry a "lost" brother or sister; and 2. in the event that a child was separated from his family (by sale) and the new owner gave him a new name, the family could still keep track of that child using the nickname. For example, if a boy was given the nickname "Bojangles" and at the age of nine, he was sold away, the family would ask the enslaved Africans that were allowed to leave the plantation, to inquire about the fate of Bojangles. This naming convention continues today though many of us are unaware of the origins of the tradition. Likewise, many of us have family members whose real names are unknown because we've only known them by their nickname. The list below are nicknames as they relate to the given name and is in no way a complete list as nicknames vary from generation to generation.
