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

Barbara and Moira. Great grandmothers were both called Elizabeth and known as Betty!

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.
