Did everyone else know that's what Austin Healey's twin toddler daughters are called?

Is it wrong to say I think they're dead sweet names?

I wanted to call dd Elisabeth but known as Betsy! Didn't have the nerve in the end but wish I had!

It's top of the list if we have another dd!

Bibi-Dee is dreadful!

Guess I'm the only one liking Bibi-Dee then!

Don't worry, though, I'm not going to have another baby so I won't be imposing it on any unsuspecting tot any time soon.

I think that the Dee bit is short for Denise, which was his mum's name- think she passed away before they were born? read that somewhere as am sad....
But Bibi?? Maybe it is Barbara....
I do like Betsy.

Most people just call her bibi or bibs in real life, they are both so adorable and really suit their names.
