My name has come up several times as well, it's just one of those things really :)

Christine, which I don't think has come up.
mn Mary, which has. As has my name, several times.

Geraldine Hilda Anne. No surprise, she has always been called Anne, which is also my middle name. I think Anne is really simple and pretty (as long as it has its e!) and deserves a revival!

Barbara - unlikely to inspire in my opinion. The name that is, my mum however is incredible and brilliant in about a million different ways.

Sylvia, which I actually rather like

Mary.

Has friends called Joan, Barbara, Shelagh, Jo, Linda, Christine, Tess.

I rather like Tess as a name.

My mum is called Bernadette (very Irish catholic) which she hates and I love.

MIL is called Ida ... Very much of it's time.

My Grandmothers were Bridget and Patricia.

OhFishyFishyFishyFish · 11/11/2013 22:58

I could have phrased that differently Shock Blush

Just to clarify, my actual name is not 'pants', it's just a naffola name

Helga - the only one on this thread so far. Allo Allo has completely ruined the name for me so was never going to use it for DD!
