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.

@DebbieFiderer
We moved house just under a year ago. We are on nodding terms with the next door neighbours, but have never exchanged names.

You didn't say, and I don't think anyone has asked yet, but if you didn't exchange names have they put your names on the card, i.e. does it say:

To Debbie, DebbiesDH and DebbiesDC
Love from

Or is it something like:
Best Wishes From....

If they include your names when you haven't exchanged them then they must have done some investigation of their own. If they have missed your names off then they clearly don't know and are avoiding the issue so you have got nothing to be embarrassed about by admitting you don't know, and can't read, theirs

@DebbieFiderer PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come back and tell us their names!

Borris · 12/12/2019 20:13

Shamelessly place marking as I need to know

Pingu32 · 12/12/2019 22:44

I would print off this thread and stick it in the card - it could be the start of a wonderful friendship!

Onelovelyone · 12/12/2019 23:01

I think the names are: Drew, Aimee, Liam and Emily

Iwantedtrianglesnotsquares · 12/12/2019 23:05

Aimee, Liam and Emily would be mynguess

Heartburn888 · 12/12/2019 23:17

Just reply ‘from all at number 6 from all at number 7’

HamAndPineapple · 13/12/2019 00:14

@Pingu32 that made me laugh 🤣

It'd make sure there was no card next year.
No change of address card either.

Fr0g · 13/12/2019 00:24

invite them round
get pissed on mulled wine
tell us WTF their names are

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 13/12/2019 07:09

I have never asked the names of her twin teenage daughters because she always just calls them “the girls”

I used to think my eldest brother was called Boys as he was always the one who appeared first when my mum called out "boys!" to get both brothers down for dinner.

Hahaha88 · 13/12/2019 07:32

@DebbieFiderer. Whhhhhhy would you do this to us?!!

Twelfth72 · 13/12/2019 18:29

I think the first name is Dulci, and agree the others are aimee Liam and emily

Drecci · 13/12/2019 19:01

Debbie is a cruel cruel woman!!! Put us out of our misery

ToffeePennie · 13/12/2019 19:28

Becci, Aimee, Liam and Emily

DoubleTroubleRainbows · 13/12/2019 19:44

Diane, Aimee, Liam & Emily.

See how the dot over the i in Aimee, Liam & Emily comes about 2-3 letters later, so think it's Di, then the a looks like the 'a' in Liam, & the e like the 'ee' in Aimee, so hence i think it's Diane

DebbieFiderer · 13/12/2019 19:45

Sorry folks, I promise I'll come back if there is ever an answer!

Pauli, Amiee, Liam & Emily.

Ask the Postman OP!

fucketyfeck · 13/12/2019 19:59

Drelli, amiee, cleonie and Emily.

I'm not saying that's for certain but I have a similar style of handwriting, that's how I would interpret it.

LittleMissnotLittleMrs · 13/12/2019 20:02

Please can you just knock on her door and tell her hundreds of Mumsnetters need to know their names!

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 13/12/2019 20:13

I see: Diae/Daie followed by Amiee/Amia, followed by Liam/Lieem ending with Emily.

imaflutteringkite · 13/12/2019 20:30

It's Steve, Becci, Amiee, Liam and Emily.

PunishmentSnart · 13/12/2019 20:34

Boswell

SummerLove2306 · 13/12/2019 21:19

Dail I think is the last name

hawaiianturtle · 13/12/2019 22:52

I’d say Dulci Aimee Liam and Emily

Equanimitas · 13/12/2019 23:05

Can't be Steve, @imaflutteringkite, unless that's a woman's name.
