Tuppence

[debka]

Was told about a poor little girl called this the other day.

Was my family BU to laugh a lot at this unfortunate name? When I was a little girl your tuppence was your fanny!

Tuppence Middlenton comes to mind.

re. fanny - same could be said for Will/Willy for boys, no?

I know of a girl called Tuppence.

Wonder if its the same one or whether there are more than one? How old was she?

I too think of Tuppence Middleton. Tuppy isn't a bad nickname actually?

Aside from the fanjo thing, it's not a very grown-up name is it?

Can you imagine being treated by Tuppence the surgeon, or seeing Tuppence the lawyer, or Tuppence the CEO of Shell?

DD1's nickname is tuppence!

She was three. Who is Tuppence Middleton? Is she related to Kate?

Yup - undercarriage. Maybe its a nickname?

My sister was at a christening where another child was called... whats the 2 name euphamism for willy? John something? Either way, she got the giggles and was scowled at.

Was Will and Harry's nanny called Tuppence or something equally silly?

debka -theres more than one then as the one I know is older.

John Thomas?

I know someone with a cat called this

When I was a little girl it was not, but I know someone who used to be told 'keep hold of your tuppence' when she was off for an evening out.

Or in similar monetary euphemisms 'Keep your hand on your ha'penny'.

Although if I saw someone constantly holding her tuppence or her ha'penny that would be a bit disconcerting.

I'm trying to formulate something about pound coins and pudendas but it's not coming off.

Tuppence can only bring to mind Tuppence Beresford. As in Tommy & Tuppence. I believe her real first name was Prudence though!

William and Harrys nanny was called something like Tiggy or something. You can get away with it if you are dead posh!

I think it is a super cute name....live and let live!

Tiggy! That was it, posh people be bonkers.

Definitely name for a fanjo in the 1980's round my way.

Their many was Tiggy Legge Burke (sp?)

Many = Nanny!

I know of a Tuppence too. She is older than 3

I thought of the Agatha Christie one as well. I suspect it'll be a nickname though. Looked at three random year statistics and no Tuppence (or Twopence).

Tiggy's first name is Alexandra, if memory serves.
