OK, I'm bored - my children are watching Top Gear for the 91st time and dp's away and I have 50 Pudsey Bear biscuits to decorate and I don't want to.

My father was born in 1918. His name was one that I have only heard 3 times in my life apart from Pa. One man, one woman, one still alive, one Victorian.

Any guesses?

It's difficult to decide whether it's more male or female. If really pushed, I would say female - but only because it has a common characteristic with a group of girl's names....

I can't think of many Victorains and none of them have very unisex names - charles, florence, benjamin, isambard, albert, william - I think not.

Yes it's the woman that's still alive. No one's near yet. Bizarrely, not even the first initial letter.

I bet, when you do reveal, there's a flurry of posts of people who were at school with an 'x'. Always the way.

Mind you, i had a (white english), greatish granmother called Argentine. I've yet to hear of another of those.

maretta · 13/11/2008 20:36

Is it the woman who's still alive. Are they still active in public life.

My dad (born in Ireland 1916) was called Dawson. I only ever heard it again on Dawson's Creek in the 90s. Is it Dawson...?
