My grandmother's sister was named Fanny (real name was Philomena). Never could figure out way they didn't just call her Philly instead of Fanny. When my brothers and I were little, we used to laugh when my dad said he was going to visit his aunt Fanny. Now I think of that Benny Bell song, "My Fanny." "Everyone wants to touch my Fanny; everyone wants to squeeze my Fanny." Borscht Belt humor; gotta love it.
