I think Ann is a bit boring - sorry to Anne's by the way - I have a new granddaughter, and her middle name is Elizabeth, after my lovely mum - so I am well pleased...

Yes. It's Louise. I hate my first name Beverley. My dad hated it too ( it was my mum's choice), so I've always been known as Louise. Although when I was a child I was called Sam when I was good and Louise when I was naughty just to confuse things. Louise

I do like my middle name, Elizabeth, but m glad that dad was not allows to name me Elizabeth Ann as he had wanted because mum has 2 cousins Elizabeth who are also cousins to each other and now I've descoved that half my dad's family was called Elizabeth. My initals are REA the same as my dad's grandmother after she married. Brother is ODA, dad is DA (dad has no middle name but his frist name is brothers middle name) Mum was LAW but is now LAA. If brother had been a sister he would be LKA, and named Lucy Kathleen after my mothers grandmother who were Ida Lucy and Hilda Kathleen. Mum thought Ida and Hilda were very old fashioned 15 years ago so wouldn't have used them

No I don't. It's Jean. Would have preferred just the original name my Mum came up with, Georgina, but Dad wouldn't have any of it. Joy
