Was told about a poor little girl called this the other day.

Was my family BU to laugh a lot at this unfortunate name? When I was a little girl your tuppence was your fanny!

Was Will and Harry's nanny called Tuppence or something equally silly?

My sister was at a christening where another child was called... whats the 2 name euphamism for willy? John something? Either way, she got the giggles and was scowled at.

Yup - undercarriage. Maybe its a nickname?

She was three. Who is Tuppence Middleton? Is she related to Kate?

DD1's nickname is tuppence!

Aside from the fanjo thing, it's not a very grown-up name is it?

Can you imagine being treated by Tuppence the surgeon, or seeing Tuppence the lawyer, or Tuppence the CEO of Shell?

I too think of Tuppence Middleton. Tuppy isn't a bad nickname actually?

I know of a girl called Tuppence.

Wonder if its the same one or whether there are more than one? How old was she?

Tuppence Middlenton comes to mind.

re. fanny - same could be said for Will/Willy for boys, no?
