My daughter is named after one of them, I'm sure you can guess which:)

Joan and Joan (although think her actual name is Alice but everyone calls her Joan!)

Pamela and Mervin! Mervin was almost universally known as Poppy though, I have no idea why beyond Mervin being a bloody awful name.

Fab names, love Joan and Marina.
