Refreshing the RMMGA FAQ ?
JPTl
Taking this time the newcomer's right way I looked through the FAQ and
discovered with pleasure in the list of reference guitar players a
fellowcountryman : Pierre Bensusan. Of course everybody knows the
great artist he is. So I was surprised not to find the one who really
popularized guitar picking in France in the 70's : Marcel Dadi. I
thought he was really known in the USA ( where he was a friend of Chet
Atkins) . He also had made records in Nashville, if I am not mistaken.
I had been admiring him for more than 30 years when he tragically
disappeared in july 1996 in the crash of flight 800 just after taking
off from New-York.
Hope that some of you know or remember him.
(By the way, I see that the FAQ has not been updated since 1994 ?! Did
I read the right document :
http://www.guitarnotes.com/rmmga/documents/rmmgafaq.shtml ) :-)

A lot of us do indeed know of Marcel. The FAQ was created by an
individual and his tastes, thoughts and opinions are what's represeted
there. This is usenet, not the Web.

There's an interesting chapter about fashions in names in Freakonomics.
I bet if I gave you all the names of the last four generations of my
family you could have a pretty good go at matching the names to the
generations (e.g. how many five year olds are called Barbara nowadays?).
Although my daughter's name, Esme, is an old fashioned one that's come
back into fashion - several people have told me they had a Great Aunt
Esme or somesuch and I know two other little girls with the same name,
but no-one my own age.
It's very different in Greece where children are usually named after
their grandparents, so apart from all the Marias and Petroses, there are
lots of people of all ages with really old names like Mercury,
Hercules, and Ariadne.

Kieran Kane makes great music, and nevermind what his momma named him!
In fact, sir, Lanis and I chose and made up some names for our offspring
that are not typical names, but which seem to fit each of them quite
well.

The primogenitory line in my family goes Peter (me), Bramwell,
Clifford, Peter - and that takes us back to about the 1890's.
I don't know my maternal grandmother's name - she died in childbirth
in about 1932 and I've never bothered to ask what it was - my mother
was adopted by an auntie Sarah (one of my favourite names) when she
was two so she didn't know her mother at all, really.
There's a lot of dispersion with the surnames of our lot. My mother's
maiden name was Bywater, but her mother was a Munro (cool - it gives
me the right to wear one of the best tartans), then there's the Gays,
Browns and Snellings...one thing is certain, if I ever got to be King
we wouldn't have an inbreeding problem in our lineage.
Might be a slight constitutional hassle over who drank all the sherry,
though...:-)
Wouldn't it be great to be in a position of great power and just spend
the time fucking around?

There is a long tradition of using diminutives as the legal name for a
child here in the American South. I know of educated and respected
members of the community named "Teddy", "Jimmy", "Billy Joe" (and even
"Billy Jo"), "Bobby" and "Tommy". I also know a Jack, but his is a
knickname for his given name of "Jackson". I do know several "JimBob's"
and a "Joe Bob".
This is separate and distinct from the fine tradition of knicknames,
such as John who is usually called "Shot", itself short for "Shotgun",
and the man whose name I have forgotten who goes by "Rattler", short for
"Rattlesnake". While on the subject of reptiles, I would be remiss to
omit my old friend "Snake", who understandably prefers that to Orville.
To hear someone referred to as "Shot" at the gun club, isn't uncommon,
but to hear a casual reference to "Shot" or "Snake" at the country club
is a bit more earcatching.

Many people do it because they like the diminutive, and it can't be
shortened.
Mine, Michael, is almost always shortened, sometimes to Mike (which I
like) and sometimes to Mick (which I don't like).

You are right : it is old fashioned too. It sounds OK when linked to
great figures like Maurice Ravel or Maurice B�jart but young people
hate the name ( one of my friends called Maurice bears a grudge to his
father for naming him so and compressed his name into Marc).
In French you don't pronounce it 'more ice' but rather 'more iss'.

James = 1 syllable and 5 letters.
Jimmy = 2 syllables and 5 letters.
Jimmy is short for James, yet takes the same number of letters to
write or spell, and more effort to say. Less formal I see, but not
the "short" part.
Take my name for example, David shortened to Dave.
David = 2 syllables and 5 letters.
Dave = 1 syllable and 4 letters.
Dave is shorter than David by one letter, so is easier to write and
spell, and takes less effort to say. Less formal, but actually
shorter, too.
I use Dave because I'm an informal lazy person.
But, that still doesn't explain why abbreviation is such a long word.
This post is probably best taken with shortened tongue-in-cheek
(though I think there's still a point). :o)

You're overlooking the obvious. "Jimmy" is the diminutive of "Jim".
Now, "Jim" is the base knickname for "James". Three letters, one
syllable, easier to say. Thus, "James" shortens to "Jim", and "Jim" is
rendered to "Jimmy" as an affectionate or diminutive form.
