Re: Names from a sitcom
in reply to a message by Feorsteorra
Maw Maw isn't a nickname. At least not based from the name. Maw Maw is simply just slang for grandmother. The character is a grandmother\great-grandmother\great-great grandmother.
The family line goes:
Barbara June
Her daughter (character isnt exactly stated)
Virginia (Her granddaughter)
Jimmy (Her Great-Grandson)
Hope (Her Great-Great granddaughter)

I didn't actually think it was based on her name, for the record. A lot of nicknames actually aren't. But thank you for explaining; I hadn't quite caught the "grandmother" meaning thing. Probably haven't had enough sleep in the past week or so.
It's cool. Catch up on your Z's (:
