What's your mum called?

[BananaPhone]

Thinking about the cyclical nature of names - those that I used to think of as awful 'granny names' when I was younger - Florence, Edith, Mabel etc - are wildly popular now.

I wonder what the equivalent names will be for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren?

My mum is called Christine (I am in my mid 30s).

Vivienne. Also mid-30s.

Patricia. Tbf, I don't think it was wildly popular then either, but she was the last of 5 girls and they were running out of names by then, bless her!

Jennifer, I am early 40s.

Regina (me late forties)

Haha my name is Patricia too (trish) I'm in my mid 30s and hate it!! My mums name is sue

Mil is Patricia, but she was named after the mw who delivered her.

Jacqueline, I'm 42. My grandmother was also Jacqueline.

My mum is called Lenore - I'm early 30's. Love the name!

Mary as is my mother-in-law, but both of them are known by different pet names of Mary. I'm in my late 30s.

Jean. My mil is Margaret. Dh and I are mid 40s.
I

I'm mid 40s and my mother is called Christine as well. My first name is one of those names that bounces back every 2 generations, and although when I was given it, it was exceedingly rare except in old ladies, there are tonnes of young ones now.

Maria and shes almost late 40s

I'm 33, my DMum is called Margot - like in the Good Life . MIL is called Jean. A friend of mine suggested Margot for a potential baby name for me - I think it's finally coming into fashion!

Ruth. I'm mid 30s. MIL is Margaret, but known as Meg.

Ada. Pronounced Ah-da, not Ey-da.

My mum is Nicola but uses Nikki. I'm 22

Ooooh my DD is a Ruth Evil.

My mum is Christine too! I'm 32

Sheila. I'm late 30s.

Faith

Well she is known as Sheila. But her actual name is Julia. Very weird as her aunt who is the same age as her is also called Sheila! We have no idea why they both ended up being Sheila!

I am early late forties.

I don't think it ever went out of fashion, did it? As a child I had a friend called Ruth and now have two close friends with that name. Mum used to be a primary teacher- she taught a Ruth who would be in her late teens now.

DM is Linda, MIL is Patricia (or cow at as DH refers lovingly to her as)

I am mid 30s

Jennifer.

Cow Pat.
