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.

Just address the card to number "?" And inside write, happy Christmas to you all from xxxx

frostyfingers · 10/12/2019 11:28

The easy way out here is “To you all” .....!

kingsassassin · 10/12/2019 11:30

Diane Aimee Liam and Emily

Justaboutawake · 10/12/2019 11:31

Dani, Aimee, Liam, Emily

The “A”s are all similar

HumousWhereTheHeartIs · 10/12/2019 11:31

Is the first one Neil?

Babyroobs · 10/12/2019 11:35

Nell or Neil.

MyFavouriteTimeOfYear · 10/12/2019 11:36

Just trace their names onto your Christmas card back to them 😂

ODFOx · 10/12/2019 11:36

It's Becci.
I couldn't make hide not hair of it until I made it bigger and squinted. Now I can't see anything but Becci.

LaurieMarlow · 10/12/2019 11:36

This is driving me mad Grin

loobyloo1234 · 10/12/2019 11:38

First name does look more like 'Becci' to me and agree the others are definitely Liam, Aimee and Emily

Could you do a search 192.com to get the first name if you know their surname?

Stravapalava · 10/12/2019 11:38

Demi?

LaurieMarlow · 10/12/2019 11:39

But I don't see how the first letter is a B (or an N for that matter). She hasn't used a lower case for any of the others. It's not a clear cut lower case b or n anyway.

I think it has to be a D or (less likely) a P.

I'm far too invested in this!

Busybuzzbee · 10/12/2019 11:41

Is the first name ending 'lli'

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 10/12/2019 11:43

First name Paul? Very short P though.

Busybuzzbee · 10/12/2019 11:44

No sorry! I can see the style for 'e' now ... 3 e's and an i but I can't for the life of me figure the first 2 letters.

Branster · 10/12/2019 11:46

When in doubt, just call him Dave!

Mrsmummy90 · 10/12/2019 11:49

The first one looks like Drail 😂

TheSummoningDark · 10/12/2019 11:50

If the dot is in the right place the second one could be Amie.

NC4Now · 10/12/2019 11:50

Any clue as to age/gender/ethnicity/nationality of the other family member? Is it a single mum with three kids, a mum, dad and two kids etc?
A bloke in his 40s isn’t likely to be called Becci for example but could easily be Neil.

coragreta · 10/12/2019 11:50

If the op doesn't ask her neighbors and tell us the right answer I might die!

Mrsmummy90 · 10/12/2019 11:52

It looks like it ends in 'ail'. I'd say Gail but the first letter doesn't look like a G

LittleDragonGirl · 10/12/2019 11:56

I'm begging, please just go and ask so we can have confirmation once and for all!

LaurieMarlow · 10/12/2019 11:57

My understanding is that the name causing all the problems is female.

The OP removed the Dad's name, because that was obvious. The kids are 2 females and a male (accounted for), leaving the Mum (or one of the female kids).

If the op doesn't ask her neighbors and tell us the right answer I might die!

Me too, it's ridiculous. Grin

LaurieMarlow · 10/12/2019 11:58

OP any chance the Mum is of non British background?

Omashu · 10/12/2019 12:02

Almost certain they’ve spelt it Amiee and not Aimee.
