Can anyone decipher this handwriting for me?

We moved house just under a year ago. We are on nodding terms with the next door neighbours, but have never exchanged names. Now they've sent us a Christmas card with the names on, which should be great, as I won't have to ask them, except I can't read the handwriting! Any ideas? I've cut off the man's name as I can read that, and I can see the last one is Emily, but the other three are a mystery. If it helps, the children are girl, boy, girl.

I also think Ania now. The first looks like Draic to me

AdaColeman · 10/12/2019 14:04

Tracie

The first letter is cut off in the photo - just wondering if that is a P and not a B/D after all?

I'm wondering about 'Liam' now and the L is different to the L in 'Love'. It might be a C or a W?

I'm spending far too long on this now. I hope the op finds out the answer and puts us out of our misery.

Davie?

Shesellsseashellsontheseashore · 10/12/2019 14:19

Amiee and Liam
The first one I'm not sure but I think it has an i in it as there is a dot over it like all the other names

user1471592953 · 10/12/2019 14:20

I think the first name is Traci.

AngusThermopyle · 10/12/2019 14:43

Druci?

Does anyone else think it’s unlikely that they would call their daughters Aimee and Emily? They are so similar.

NightDreaming · 10/12/2019 15:06

I’m now thinking the second name might be Annie

noodledoodler · 10/12/2019 15:11

Neill, Aimee, Liam and Emily

doublecheeseburgermediumfries · 10/12/2019 15:18

Dulcie?

Bootstraps · 10/12/2019 15:21

The OP has said the first name is the mum's.

Unlikely the mum's called Neill.

But stranger things have happened.

Bootstraps · 10/12/2019 15:25

I definitely think the 2nd name is Amiee however. I'd thought the spelling odd but I've just googled and: "Amiee is a feminine name of French origin and it is said to mean ‘Loved One’." From www.babynames.co.uk/names/amiee/

Christ I need the OP to find out for sure and update.

Not necessarily, I knew twins called Jack and Jake.

LaurieMarlow · 10/12/2019 15:30

Ponders Dulcie 🧐

Ok OP, where do you live? I can’t deal with this anymore, I’m going to have to ask her myself.

Apolloanddaphne · 10/12/2019 15:36

The second name could be Aria.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 10/12/2019 15:37

It's Neill, Aimee, Liam & Emily.
They're my next door neighboursGrin...................not Grin

Apolloanddaphne · 10/12/2019 15:53

Could it be Nell rather than Neill?

Madcats · 10/12/2019 16:00

OP you will tell us what their names are one day, please?

pugtato · 10/12/2019 16:03

Possibly Demi, Aimee and Liam?

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 10/12/2019 16:05

OP, can you take the photo again so we can see the whole of the first name. There's a bit missing when I look at the photo.

Bootstraps · 10/12/2019 16:07

Ahem, not Aimee but Amiee. It’s French.

(Yes, I am too over-invested.)
