RIP Sai Baba
Anyone who has spent time in Nepal will recognise the image of the afro'ed orange-clad Sai Baba. An Indian Hindu mystic, his picture can be found in shops, homes and micro-buses alike.

Ok I found my way here because I follow superlinguo on tumblr just because I couldn't find an Ask box on the page and after reading your post about the name 'Wills' I wanted to comment that adding an '-s' on the end of a nickname is a common, albeit fairly recent phenomenon here in the UK.

Come to think of it, it seems to mainly happen with girls names...

Sorry I didn't even read this post before I commented, no disrespect meant. RIP Sai Baba.
