Classification: Query
I,too,need help with a particular name that I have seen in the past as a nickname. However, I am drawing a total blank in remembering the real name. I know Polly is for Mary; Peg, Peggy or Meg is for Margaret; Patsy for Martha; Lolly for Laura, etc. However,I am stuck on the name Cyrena/Serena/Sirena. Does anyone associate one of these spellings used as a nickname with a particular name?
I have a female using this name in two key transactions and am wondering if she had used her real name in other settings. I have no clue what the real name was. I do appreciate your reading my query and hope someone can help me.
