Oh! What about all the minor women characters w/ rhyming names?? What does that mean? Or is it just a joke?
Trudy, Judy, Trooby? (or whatever Betty's SiL's name is)
I may have noticed it before but I feel like it was highlighted last night.

I think it's just that names go through trends. Just like the popular thing right now is names that end in "a".
Note that both Judith and Judy made the Top 20 in the 40s:

I could swear they were calling Betty's sister-in-law something like Trooby. weird.

It always possible that she had a weird nickname. Growing up, in fine New England fashion, me and my siblings were Sissy, Booey, and Tippy. These names bear no relation to our real names.

That is the question.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I say: Booey.
And I plan to call you "Booey" until you snap at me in irritation and say, "It's not Booey!" and then I'll be down to two.
