I wonder...
I wonder if St. Augustine's parents, i.e. Patrick and St. Monica, ever had the vexing problem of fending off nicknames for their son. His name is 'Augustine' -- not 'Gus,' 'Gussie,' 'Auggie,' 'Aug,' or any other derivative. I wonder of St. Monica ever tried to get the name 'Tino' to catch on, to the relative dismay of her husband. I wonder if they ever had to correct people for using the pronounciation 'August-een,' instead of 'August-in.' If you're detecting some personal animus here, be assured that your perceptions are accurate.
