Hey! Years ago my siblings, cousins, and I found out that my Aunt used to have a nickname, and her siblings stopped calling her by it once they looked it up and found out it means driftwood. Since then, everyone of my parents generation and my grandparents have kept it a secret from all of us "new generation". Today we got talking again and apparently last night some of my cousins were up for a couple hours last night looking for what in the world Driftwood could refer to, and I thought "Hey! Maybe some of the geniuses on Neomallers know!"
So... anyone know an old fashioned (maybe 40's?) woman nickname that sounds nice, but actually means driftwood? (Can't find it in a dictionary either, so it's probably a really old one)
Thanks!

Is the nickname based on a real name? Like her real name, or is it just random?
Possible according to google: Marlow, Marlowe, Marley, Marloe, Marly, Marlea.

Oh wow my uncle broke when I guessed Marlow, he just started laughing and said it was "Punk".
No Idea why he cracked from that, but apparently Punk can mean Driftwood and my aunt was really embarrassed about that.

Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.
