Names often skip a generation, so I was wondering what everyone's parents names are. It could be a vague look into the future...

Mine are Dan and Wendy
DH's are Nick and Michele

@KindKylie

Isn't everyone's dad called Dave or Chris?! Maybe a couple of outlying Rob, John, Andy or Mike

I remember my mum saying after she left uni nearly every wedding was a Sue to a Chris Grin

Nearly all her friends have names involving/sounds like Lyn/Linda or are Sue or Liz.

I think names in later generations tend to have a lot more variety

Also Mark! (My dad's name)
