I found this in an article on "Ethel", a documentary about Ethel Kennedy:
Unmentioned in the film, Rory says her mother so hates her given name, Ethel, that "she flinched every time the film was introduced." Ethel has hosted the Hyannis Port golf tournament for more than 20 years to benefit the RFK Center. "About 15 years ago, she and Bill Murray were playing on a team together and he was late. He comes running up, saying, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry', and she thought he was apologizing for being late, so she says, 'No worries.' But with all these TV reporters and cameras around, he says, 'I'm so sorry you have to live with that horrible name! I can't even stand to call you that!' And she burst out laughing. So he said, 'You look like a Kate, I'm going to call you that.'"

does she have a nickname?
One her friends and family call her? Seems like she would after all this time hating her name.
