Ryan

Sasha. Whenever I played secretaries with my friend I was always Sasha

Evie

Summer

Amy

Kelly

Laura

My favourite dolls were Polly and Lucy. My twins.

This is easy because I recently found a list that I wrote in the early 80’s when I was about ten:

Dannii
Bekkii
Sammii

All with hearts over the i’s. Obviously.

Tammy- lee, she was American and only came to our school for a short while in the late 70's, l thought back then her name was really cool.

Misty
Forrest

Tiger-Lily. I thought it was the best name ever.

Jessica

Belinda, also the name of my doll!

For the longest time I was going to have Emily Ciara Niamh for a girl. I have no idea where I got that combo from, and Reuben for a boy.

Samantha

Chantal.

Catriona, Edwina and Richard.

Catriona is DHs ex wife's name, please don't make me use it, lol

I remember loving the name Emmy. Not Emily, Emilia, Emma. Just Emmy. Now I have two girls - neither of them is called Emmy!

Rachel - she moved the summer we were 8. I have never forgotten her. Through a Facebook group I obtained her address but haven’t written to her as I doubt very much that she remembers me 🙁

According to my parents, I wanted to name my little sister Tiara.

Later on, I was obsessed with a story about four sisters who each controlled one of the seasons: Alyssa, Allegra, Fira, and Vanora. I was going to have one of each - no boys. (I did have boy dolls called Jasper, Tobias, and Sebastian, so probably those.)

Carey and Shona

Something very very 90's, like Zoe, Emma, Gemma or Leah

I loved the names of my classmates in 1975:

Heather
Dawn
Amber

Marco
Paul
Diego

Romilly, after a character in a book I loved.

Scarlett or Sebastian
