    If that's what she'd like to be called. I know a Marilyn who gets called Mandy.

    Some are. I know someone named Marilyn who goes by Mari (so Mary, spelt Mari because that's how it's spelt in the name Marilyn). I guess someone named Marilyn could also go by Lynn.

    Hopefully not. That would be stupid.
