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.

Can anyone decipher this handwriting for me?

I thought it was going to be an update from OP having cracked the case of the mystery card writers Grin

@sleepylittlebunnies - I apologise. The random post above mine must have made the OP appear again! I didn’t realise how old it was 😂😂

sleepylittlebunnies · 27/01/2020 21:38

That’s a very random post above yours @Sneezin3s Grin. Wonder if OP ever worked it out?

Wheresthebiffer2 · 27/01/2020 21:39

we need the answer

MargSal · 27/01/2020 22:15

We really do! It would be cruel not to tell us what their names are!

MrsDrudge · 27/01/2020 22:17

Aimee, Liam and Emily

Supertrooper98 · 27/01/2020 22:23

This thread was so funny. I'd love closure now I've just read the whole thing

Supertrooper98 · 27/01/2020 22:28

@BooksAreMyOnlyFriends

I don't think Liam and Aria really go together as sibling names. Liam is obviously named after Gallagher, parents probably met whilst drunk dancing to Oasis. I said maybeeeeeee..gin

Aimee doesn't go with Liam either. She should have a brother called Jonathan or James. Liam and AMY is more fitting but it's obviously not that.

Emily is obviously the favourite. Look how carefully her name has been written. I feel sorry for Liam and the other one. They're probably being pushed out of the nest as we speak. Liam's box room will be mums craft room (god help those that get her sloppy Christmas offerings) and the other one's room will get the clothes airers.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE

This is my favourite post ever

DebbieFiderer · 19/04/2020 22:37

Well, I promised I'd update if I ever found out, and I did today (DH had a chat with the husband) - turns out it is Steve, Debbie, Aimee, Liam and Emily 😁

OP, you've made my day. I genuinely think about this post way more than I should Grin

louise5754 · 19/04/2020 22:40

How did he get that in conversation? What's your name? And your wife's? And all your kids? Lol or did he mention the card x

Borris · 19/04/2020 22:45

I’m so ridiculously overjoyed to have the answer Grin

DoTheNextRightThing · 19/04/2020 22:48

I would never have guessed that said Debbie 😂

Ezira · 19/04/2020 22:48

Sorry but there is no word that looks anything like Steve!

sparklecritters · 19/04/2020 22:51

We have closure 🎉

Pinksunday1210 · 19/04/2020 23:01

Spooky that “Debbie” is in OPs nickname too Shock

DebbieFiderer · 19/04/2020 23:05

No idea how it came up, but it did (well, his and the woman's name anyway, we'd figured out the kids already). Ezira - there was a second picture I posted which included the husband's name.

I'm glad people are happy to have the answer, I thought I was going to get a load of replies along the lines of what the hell is this all about and why are you dragging this up after so long!

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 19/04/2020 23:06

I do think you should call her Derick forever though.

StoneofDestiny · 19/04/2020 23:11

Neill, Aimee, Liam, Emily

Ezira · 19/04/2020 23:12

Odd that the guy can’t spell his own child’s name - he’s clearly put Amiee instead of Aimee!

louise5754 · 19/04/2020 23:13

I can't believe that said Debbie

Samtsirch · 19/04/2020 23:14

Is the first name a Hebrew name?
Do you know the nationality of the person?
Or could it be their nickname?
Bit flummoxed to be honest 😂

BlackeyedSusan · 19/04/2020 23:14

Debbie?

well at least we know now. Thanks for the update.

Samtsirch · 19/04/2020 23:15

Sorry, totally missed the closure 😂😂😂

BreatheAndFocus · 19/04/2020 23:20

I still can’t see Debbie even though I know it is now : D

Thanks for the update, OP.
