Good times. Love me some whacky Comic Con panel. Jason Momoa was on the top of his game and hilarious, Nikolai CW's comment about how the show should end was brilliant (As was Dink's "Dance number"), and Emilia Clarke is so lovely my eyes melted a little.

Cant hold out any longer. Have to ask Why do people call Eddard Stark, Ned?
It seems strange to me, like if people started calling me Colin, my name isnt Colin.

Why is "Dick" considered a nickname for "Richard"? Why is "Nikki" or "Roni" a nickname for "Veronica"? Your guess is a s good as mine.Comment

In my case, my nickname doesn't come from anything remotely related to my name or what I do.
I am the third of my name. Grandfather was Vernon M. <Last name>, father was Vernon M. <Last name>II (never junior). I am Vernon M. <Last name>III.
My nickname is Chip. Had it ever since I could remember. When my mother was angry, she'd call me Chipper. When she was REALLY angry it was back to Vernon M.
BUT, my nickname DID come from somewhere. Turns out my partents were REALLY original(sarcasm)! My dad's nickname growing up was Skip. And he has no idea where that one came from, as his name didn't skip a generation.
Anywho, like DG said, people are crazy.
P.S. Oh, and when my son was born, I named him Maddox M. <Lastname>. Only because we are in the information age. My father's and my credit are ALWAYS getting mucked up even though we have different SSNs. I didn't want to put my son through that, even though I've always wanted a IV.Comment

Ned is short for Edward in English. Not such a stretch from there.Originally posted by Ukko View PostCant hold out any longer. Have to ask Why do people call Eddard Stark, Ned?

Must be Queen's English. American English usually uses "Ed" or "Eddie". I've never met a Ned that was short for anything.Comment

I've heard Edward shortened to "Ted" before. *shrugs* The guy was from Boston so it could've been a local thing.sigpic
