Can anyone decipher this handwriting for me?

[DebbieFiderer]

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.

And so when people here in the USA decry the loss of teaching of cursive writing in favor of printing, I can show them this. Printing would be a vast improvement over this amalgam of cursive, printing, and hieroglyphs.

My guesses on first view:

Drecci, Anice, Wm, and Emily.

My suggestions is to just write back "Dear Neighbors" and then you don't have to guess.

Changed my mind, Aimée, is that a name?

Or you could just knock on the door with card in hand, smile and say something like "I know this is awfully silly since we have been here nearly a year but I never did catch your names and I can't make them out from the card." Then get them to print them out, have a good laugh about it (maybe ask them in for a drink over Christmas) and come straight back on to mumsnet to put us all out of our misery

Its Dewi.
You've probably got there ages ago but havent read full thread

You've probably got there ages ago

Or not

Aimee is french
Dewi is welsh
Liam is Irish
They steal leaky going for a pan European thing

Just send a card and write the name in the same way. Trace over.

Oh really! Wow.
Pretty sure it is dewi
There are quite a.lot of them where i live

Neill

It’s either Becci or Dreceei
Or Janet.

I read the first name as nelli

“Wm”

I guessed Dreee, Ameeee. Leem and Emily. I am useless as this.

Anice for the first daughter

Julie, Annie, Liam and Emily

I don’t think they deserve a card. It’s not writing, it’s a mess.

it’s not writing, it’s a mess.

Steady on. Apart from the first name, it is very legible and fairly ordinary writing.

It’s not Becci is it?

Please come back OP. We need closure.

Or at the very least another screenshot

@LaurieMarlow first we need another screenshot to see if we can do this on our own, and then we need closure.

I was wondering about Decca as in short for Francesca but it looks like an i at the end. You're going to have to ask

Neill, Aimee, Liam, Emily

I'm seeing Juici now.

Come back op!

The first name looks like Kelli to me

First name ends in i if you follow the rest of the i's in Liam, aimee and Emily....

Could it be Jenni???

Sack Jenni.. Nelli???
