Those two cases actually sound more like nicknames, rather than contractions of the original given name.  Friends of mine named their first kid "Elizabeth" but for her entire life her nickname has been "Bunny"....

They do indeed sound like nicknames.

I have only met three women who were known as ‘Flick’, but each of them was actually named ‘Rebecca’.

I have met/heard of four women who were known as ‘Bunty’, and each of them was actually named ‘Sarah’.

 

The only ‘Flick’ I have heard of who was not a ‘Rebecca’ was ‘Flick Colby’, whose given name is ‘Felicity’. That makes sense as a contraction, but what is going-on with the ‘Flick’-for-Rebecca thing?

Or the ‘Bunty’-for-Sarah thing?

 

If anyone has met a ‘Flick’ who isn’t named ‘Rebecca’, or a ‘Bunty’ who isn’t named ‘Sarah’, I would love to read about it. It would reassure me these are merely nicknames, and my perception has been skewed by what were indeed only coincidences.

Foul in clear conditions, but handsome in the fog.

The Russian mood, and even their humor, can be rather dark and cynical. One of my favorite sayings:

 

"We hoped for the best, but things turned out as usual."

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Thanks for a very interesting, illustrative and useful review. That looks like a most appealing color, but I already have too much red to finish and don't use it as much. It goes into the wish list though.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

is this the ink you wrote in your profile pic?

No. That is Noodler's Red Black. Another beautiful shading ink, that doesn't dry... :)

It is dark isn't it?

Oh, I love this review, but mine looks nothing like that. Mine is a hot pink.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Thank you. I guess, Nathan changed the formula again. Does yours dry fast?

I bought mine ooh gee almost 10 years ago. And it's sort of a fussy ink. I'll pull it out and try it again at some point soon.

@PithyProlixI added a few drops of water in the ink barrel to see if any discernible change in dry times. 

I didn't see any difference. To be honest I found it worse. 

I cannot recommend this ink, if you use, wide nibs/ wet pens and Japanese papers such as Midori/Tomoe River 68gr. 

If you use fine nibs and Rhodia or thick absorbent paper you're fine. It worked fine on Field Notes. There's a bit of feathering but that's about it. 

 

With thin I paper, I don't know.  :)

 

I'm sure there are other waterproof red inks, which are more acceptable than this. 

I can say, for sure Esenin, while not as rich of a colour, is much better behaved....

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
