I think of the 1980s Beano strip Tom, Dick & Sally, about 3 blond siblings: the 2 naughty boys were always playing mean tricks on their innocent sister, and she nearly always got the better of them.

Yes, this is inspired by the similar thread, about the name of the character who was my favourite Beano boy, years ago.

My very lovely friend. But also, in general, somebody who is attractive, fun and popular.

I think my very ordinary 42 year old friend would not be impressed with some of these.

A little girl, exactly as the one shesparkles describes.

Hmmm, wonder if it is the same one...?

I originally thought of me, as that was/is my nickname from my dad.

But then i thought Mustang Sally!!

Nowadays - Don Draper's daughter from 'Mad Men'.

Previously = someone very wholesome. And Sallys all have to be blonde, somehow, and well-scrubbed.

Worzel Gummidge, Harvester restaurants. Despite these associations, I LOVE it! Great name and just right for now, I think Smile.
