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've got one, not my name but my DHs great great aunt.

She's a witch in books, at least two separate books series, and a film adaptation of one.

Oooh I've also got a ex boyfriend whose mum doesn't have to put on the red light.

Very popular in the 90’s. Two songs with my name in the title, an older song and a more recent one, recent as in the 00s

Most famous playwright wrote about her nd yet I have never met a namesake.

Have you seen characters on TV with the same name?

Rosalind?

Laura is a beautiful name.
Glad I finally got one right 🤣
