The Nannie Identity

Mar 01, 2008 16:02

There's no book where we find out Nannie's first or last name, right? Just wondering for the BSC wiki. It drives me kind of insane having to just call her "Nannie" in an encyclopedic format. I thought maybe #6, with all the aunts and uncles and cousins, might have a clue to Kristy's mom's maiden name, but her mom just has sisters and they both apparently changed their names upon marriage. It's like AMM's deliberately taunting me. I wonder if it ever occurred to her (Ann) that Nannie had no other name. I kind of doubt she has notebooks full of unused backstory on everybody in the BSC universe, like J. K. Rowling. J. K. would never allow crap like two Sabrina Bouviers. Or Parker Harris, Dawn's vacation boyfriend, suddenly showing up in Kristy's English class to taunt Spaz Girl in #122! I discovered that the other day and just about blew a gasket; I think someone did point it out here at some point but I'd forgotten.

Aaaaaaaanyway, anybody got a lead on Nannie's real name? You would think this rocking, independent, energetic grandmother wouldn't have let her entire identity be absorbed into a vague nickname representing only the role of a servant and caretaker.

questions: canon, family: other
