Jack for Jacqueline. Saw it on the back of an old postcard I found. Addressed to a Jacqueline but called Jack in the letter portion.

I suppose the nicknames of my Polish relatives would not seem intuitive in English but I am not listing them because they ARE intuitive in their language of origin and I don't want to add to how English culture centric this site it. It's so cringe.

Me too! I love names from other cultures and would love to know how nicknames work there.

This thread is about less intuitive nicknames and the ones I am talking about are common as dirt.

Fair enough. Would love a separate thread on them, then!
