I think of the 1980s Beano strip Tom, Dick & Sally, about 3 blond siblings: the 2 naughty boys were always playing mean tricks on their innocent sister, and she nearly always got the better of them.

Yes, this is inspired by the similar thread, about the name of the character who was my favourite Beano boy, years ago.

me - it's my name. I quite like it, it's classic, fairly inoffensive. Dh calls me Sal but am a full Sally to pretty much everyone else.

Worzel Gummidge, Harvester restaurants. Despite these associations, I LOVE it! Great name and just right for now, I think Smile.

Nowadays - Don Draper's daughter from 'Mad Men'.

Previously = someone very wholesome. And Sallys all have to be blonde, somehow, and well-scrubbed.
