Wait until they find out that Billy is short for William

Billium

Also, Peggy is short for Margaret 🤯

Ya that one has always bothered me. It makes zero sense. That's like having Mark be short for Brennan.

Some nicknames do a consonant shift for the first letter, like William > Will > Willy > Billy

Margaret > Meg > Meggy > Peggy

Or Hank being short for Henry.

pass me a henrykerchief would you my lad

Imagine not knowing it's short for Bobsworth

Come on, now you are just pulling their leg. Everyone knows Bob's short for Bobhew!
