Tell me what your name is without telling me what your name is

[BatsatHalloween]

My name has a male and female variant
It was number 36 the year I was given it
It was acceptable in the 80s
It's a bit French
It's also a little bit Essex
Most people shorten it

I am every girl’s middle name from the 80s and 90s!

Louise?

Gemma?

Julie?

Yep that’s it.
and unusually it’s never been shortened to Becky. Becky, to me is a whole other name if you know what I mean? It’s as alien as Dave if you were to call me that!

Or Jane.

Rebecca?

Good guess but no.

Sue?

There are 3 ways to spell my name and it was popular in the 70’s and 80’s. Lots of women who have this as their first name, have Louise as their middle name.

Sarah

Claire/clare/clair?

Genevieve?

Georgia.

Yes, of course!

Gillian?

I was born in the 60s, I appear at Christmas and Neil Sedaka thought I treated him badly

@HelloVeritas Amy?

That’s the one and I bloody hate it 😂

I Have never known anyone with my name, it is the name of a flower.

Noelle?

Daffodil?

Sarah?
