The fact that you think these two things can even be compared makes
my head spin. A nickname in this case is a shortened version of the
same name for the same thing, not a different name for a different
thing or a subset of that thing. Please.
Baiting me with innocent-sounding questions is really juvenile. Ick.

But, why do you find it acceptable to have two different names for
a school, but unacceptable to have two names for a neighborhood?
And by the way, when you were growing up at 49th & Locust, I guess
you wouldn't have called it Walnut Hill? But is it inappropriate
for Betty Reavis, longtime community resident and longtime
president of Walnut Hill Community Association, to say that she
lives in Walnut Hill? Or are you going to let some newcomer
Trustafarian sticker bandit tell her where SHE lives, too?

My father's from 59th & Walnut, whatever you call it

Because that's what we called it then. Many Catholic schools had/
have nicknames. Transy, MBS, Doc, Judge, Bonner, Goretti, Ryan,
Prendy, etc. By the way, my full name is Francis deSales Carroll III.

Hey, how come you call it "deSales" instead of "St. Francis?"
Just sayin.
