Did you know Cricket O'Dell's initials are C.O.D. - weird, huh?  :P

O'Dell is her last name, and it's one word (it's an Irish thing) - so technically, her initials are just C.O., unless she's got some undisclosed middle name.

So her parents actually named her cricket? It's not just a nickname? .,. There's something fishy about this ...

Who knows? Could be a nickname, or even her given name (parents have been known to name their kids weird names). It's not like we've ever seen her parents, or even that much of her. How many appearances did Jughead make before it was suddenly discovered that his real name is Forsythe? Or take, f'rinstance, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes. For decades, no one had a clue that Bucky (or Buck or something) wasn't his actual given name. Few people probably even thought to question whether it was or not.
