Stuck for names so thought this might be a fun was of getting inspiration. The clever pretty girl at my school who was also nice to people, basically a fab all rounder, was Abby.

Having known 4 quite well, I can categorically state that there is no such thing as a nice, pretty or clever Alison. (Not really, but it's a 100% hit rate in my experience).

Susan. She had amazing hair - naturally white-blonde and suntanned skin and bright blue eyes. We all wanted to be her friend!

I don't think there was one who met all 3 criteria but,

clever and pretty - Kate
pretty and popular - Sally-Anne
popular and clever - Jane

Jane was also v pretty when I saw her in our early 20's.

I know a teenager now who seems to fit all 3 though, she's a Holly.

Secondary: Sarah, she is still lovely, child psychologist.

I went to many primaries, and as much as I remember... erm... Helen, Jane, Clarissa, Marcia, Keeley.

Rebecca (Becky) and Vicky. And another Angela who was all those things but far too modest about it.

Alex.

But actually, she grew up to be rather dumpy, "posh" and horsey.

Juliane, by virtue of being the only other girl in my class

Aishling, she had it all, and she was lovely.

RL20 · 09/04/2015 19:35

At the time of being at school, the ones I thought were pretty, actually weren't all that clever! However as the years have gone by, I've noticed that the roles have sort of reversed! Anyway...
