Stuck for names so thought this might be a fun was of getting inspiration. The clever pretty girl at my school who was also nice to people, basically a fab all rounder, was Abby.

Carmen. Clever, gorgeous auburn hair, good at sports too. Very popular. But all the popular kids were incredibly cruel to me so I hated her along with the rest of them.

No no! Can't hear people slagging off Alison - the one I met as a graduate student was amazing - beautiful, brilliant and just all round lovely.

At school it was Beth.

Sorry penny, in other news, I've never met a penny I didn't like Grin

Ruth
Ciara (though there was another Ciara who was a horrendous, so it took the shine off of the name somewhat)
Genevieve

Don't remember anyone who fits the bill. Nobody at all (all 3 schools) or either university. Some women I have worked with probably fit, Lee & Sherry.

Bethany was beautiful and two Rach(a)els were the cleverest.

Although I have just popped on to facebook and discovered that she has unfriended me! So I might change my selection now!

Primary school Lizzie was prettiest and nicest but I'm not sure if she was clever (can't remember any actual school work that far back).

Secondary school: Sarah - except she stole became best friends with my best friend in yr9 so I still struggle to admit she was a nice person.

Uni: Joanna

The clever girls in our school were definitely not the popular ones, and vice versa. There was a definite divide.

Popular: Clare, Nicola, Rebecca, Gina, Nicole, Carla
Clever: All the Kate's! Some more Rebeccas, Lucy, Heidi
Seem to have done well for themselves these days, though were not massively popular: Kate, Lucy, Clare (a different one!), Genevieve, Lisa

At primary school Hannah. Secondary school Abigail and Joanne.
