legal first name is Henry, named after my father. rather than calling me ‘Junior’ my parents nicknamed me “Happy.” (could have been worse-there were six other dwarves in Snow White Grumpy ? Dopey?)
In college i renamed myself Hank, which sounded more grownup. But never felt like a Hank so shortened it to Hap after college, which it has been for the last 60 years.
thank you, Joyce! you are a beacon of wisdom and light, a gift to us all. as a symbol of my admiration, i won’t eat chicken this week.
Another Hap!! My middle son is also named Hap; started as a nickname and he changed it legally at 18. What’s the story of your name?
