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?

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.
