I was listening to a podcast the other day in work whilst procrastinating writing minutes and the female host noted that her grandad called her a specific name. It struck a cord with me as I thought this was just a name that I had been given as a child by my dadcu (Welsh for grandad) but having done some research Googling whilst writing this, it turns out its a common Welsh endearment.
My nickname was Blodyn Tatws - or Potato Flower
I dont think I knew then what a Potato Flower looks like but its quite pretty although a very random term of endearment .
Although my brother's was worse. His middle name is Wyn and I'm sure someone used to call him Chwyn which means Weed in Welsh ( not the smoking kind just the normal annoying in garden kind).
Did you have any family nicknames?
Ffi
