Inspired by the Grandad thread!

Mine were Elizabeth and Hilda. One is a great name that I'd use, the other not so much.

Joan and Sibyl - funnily enough, she was Sibyl in her birth certificate but Sybil in real life. Apparently, it was always though my great grandad misspelt it but there is a designer called Sibyl Dunlop......

Some of these names are beautiful, glad older names are now making a comeback.

Pearl and Beryl
