Nornie (F)>

Nornie (female)

Derivative of:Minnie (F) Norma (F)
   
Source(s):
Private communications [NJM]
Notes:

A portmanteau name created from the first three letters of Norma and the last three of Minnie.  The original bearer of this name [NJM] says that her father created it because he "did not want to offend either grandmother so what he did was use both."

Nornie nicely illustrates one way that new names come into use.
