What are your parents' names?

Names often skip a generation, so I was wondering what everyone's parents names are. It could be a vague look into the future...

Mine are Dan and Wendy
DH's are Nick and Michele

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I have dc with a name in your group and so does sibling.

I guess suggesting that names come in cycles.

[quote SportsBlah]@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I was thinking that, some of these posters will be naming parents the same age as me, lol[/quote]
I know! Nick and Michele sound my age. 50
But i think the beatleas had a song called meeeeeshell 50 odd years ago.

I know a Stephen and Stella that are my age (late 30s). Stella's fairly unusual so funny to think of another identical paring.

I have a friend who's parents are Chris and Chris (Christine and Christopher).

Other friends parents are
Rosemary and Colin
Julie and Terry
Kath and Terry
Julie and Paul
Caroline and Eddie
Kath and Geoff

Tina and John
Teresa and Graham
All born late 50s.

To the posters that said about all mums being Sue or Linda, one of them has sisters named that.

I love this thread. It is fascinating. I find myself guessing the age bracket the posters fall into based on the parent names. To the person with a Dad called Basil, great name. It should come back.

Mine are Joan and Ian. IL's Margot (Margaret) and Jim
