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.

If in doubt address your card to 'All at No.(insert their house number) with the compliments of the season from all at No. (insert your house number).

Hmm, I see the case for Kelli. If so, that’s one half assed K. Grin

revelsandrose · 10/12/2019 18:37

Another one for Diane, Amiee, Liam & Emily

Thank goodness for Emily! The only one we can all agree on.

iheartchristmas92 · 10/12/2019 18:54

fuck that, just cut that part of the card out and put it beside all the other names 😂

BreatheAndFocus · 10/12/2019 18:57

The first name is Traci, I think.

Going by the dots, there is 100% an i in the first name. Her i dots are all over the place though so God knows which one is the i.

The second letter looks very much like an r. Can't see what else it could be? Whereas the rest could all be a, e, i or l.

I dont think its Liam, think it could be leoni

goodluckdontdie · 10/12/2019 19:02

I googled women's names beginning Dr... and there are almost none! So either it's not an r, or it's not a D.

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

We knew a family with an Emily and an Amelia.

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 10/12/2019 19:07

I still think it's a J. Could be Jaci, Jacci.

I wish op would come back with another photo.

Becci, Aimee, Lian

Aaaaahhhhh - thank you, you've indirectly helped me to solve it!!!

Her name is Alison, known for short as Ali. She's a GP, so she's actually signed it 'Dr Ali' - and THAT also accounts for the abominable handwriting Grin

Don't write 'To' anyone.

My aunt & uncle have always just signed cards from them to everyone..family, friends, neighbours without writing To...

Scan the lot into your PC, print it out and cut it to size, then Pritt-stick it to the top of your card. Then add 'from' and your names in perfect calligraphy at the bottom.

If you don't have a scanner and/or PC, just cut the bottom of their card out and glue it on to the top of yours.

I love the range of the guesses for Name No.1.

I'm going to throw Sherazade into the ring.

GoGoLego · 10/12/2019 19:24

Do what my parents do and don't bother writing To ... just say love A,B & C
