When I was little, I thought that my Aunts had two names. Their first name was "Annie" and then they had another name to differentiate them.
"Annie-Dolores" and "Annie-Darlene"
Later, I learned that "Annie" was a corruption of "Auntie" and at that time, I decided to keep calling them that, because I liked it.
