Proper noun
(en proper noun)- But I like it when Stella calls me Genevieve', because though I'm Jenny to everyone else, always have been since I was born, I was christened ' Genevieve . My dad called me after a vintage car in a film, if you can credit it, and to most people it's a bit embarrassing, but the way Stella says it it's got a pretty sound.

(en proper noun)- “If you want a Scotch name why don’t you call him Jock?” Macgregor looked disgusted. “Because Jock is not a name, but a diminutive, as everybody knows well. It is the diminutive of John. And John is not a Scots name. The Scots form of that name is Ian'. If you want to call him ' Ian Fetch, I shall say no more.”
