My name has a male and female variant
It was number 36 the year I was given it
It was acceptable in the 80s
It's a bit French
It's also a little bit Essex
Most people shorten it

Alexander/Alexandra or Francis/Frances?

My name is very ‘of its time’ 1970’s
It’s become synonymous with hairdressers and one of a pair of Viz characters!

Is yours Danielle?

Mine is the most common girls' name from the 50/60s - five in my primary school class, and four in senior school!
