OK, I'm bored - my children are watching Top Gear for the 91st time and dp's away and I have 50 Pudsey Bear biscuits to decorate and I don't want to.

My father was born in 1918. His name was one that I have only heard 3 times in my life apart from Pa. One man, one woman, one still alive, one Victorian.

Any guesses?

It's difficult to decide whether it's more male or female. If really pushed, I would say female - but only because it has a common characteristic with a group of girl's names....

Garnet is a fabulous name!

Umlellala · 14/11/2008 09:38

One of Jacqueline Wilson's books has twins called Ruby and Garnet (Double Trouble?)

seeker · 14/11/2008 20:12

I don't know what I think about the name - it's coloured by how much my father hated it. But as I said, he was a rufty-tufty Australian who worked on a sheep station, so it must have been a bit of a burden! My ds has it as his 3rd name, and it goes well with his other names, and gives him the initials PJG, like an old time cricketer!
