Names and Diminutives Among Public School Girls
The New York Sun laments eight hundred girls examined for admission to the Normal College adopt nicknames over formal given names. It argues such diminutives erode dignity, noting frequent transformations like Mary to Minnie and Elizabeth to Lizzie. It decries the trend as belittling women entering broader professional roles.
