Do you have a red book? There used to be a formula in there so you can work it out +/- a few inches or so either way

I think it must be wildly inaccurate. I have 2 DDs (same dad). One is 5'7" and tbe other is 6".

No idea. Does it matter?

Almost definitely, OP if he's 99th centile now. DH and I are the same height as you two.

DD1 was always about 50th to 60th centile - she's 5'4"

DD2 always around 99th centile - she's as nearly as tall as DH at 16.

I worked these out in the red book from their heights at age 2-3 and they were pretty spot on.
