my middle name is Helena.
I've been named after both my grandmothers. It's not very desireable.

that would have made me
barbara mary. and mary rhymes with my surname, as my grandma found out when she got married.

if my great-aunts had been my grandmothers, if you know what i mean, i would have been nora edith doris.

i win (or lose, depending on how you look at it)

Nora's a nice name. Doris makes me worry though! :P
I've gotten used to my names.

also - make a tequila sunrise - they're delicious.
1 shot tequila
fill with orange juice
slowly add grenadine to the mix by pouring it against the glass wall so it filters to the bottom!

nom the deliciousness.

You know something else that sucks (other than my mum obviously)

How strange
My maternal grandmother's name was Barbara Mary. She was a ferret-smuggler, too. There must have been a small, localised fashion.
( Kroney, Fri 19 Nov 2010, 16:10, Reply)

no, two separate grandmothers!
one barbara. one mary.

mary was a quarter french so she was originally mary therese ridout, which was quite posh-sounding really. marriage ruined that.

She must have been appalled
when she got to The North.

A young, French sophisticate arrives in the grim North to marry, full of hope for her new life. Only to find out he's a navvie.

Edit: Oh, a quarter French. Still, it's a good theme for one of those Channel 5 TV films.

My grandmother wanted my parents to name me after her, Annece
my parents thought she was crazy
I quite like it

I rather like that too.
My middle name is Ronald named after my Dad. I mention this, not because I assume that anyone is interested, but so that everyone else can feel better about their names.

aw
at least it's not your first name
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 19 Nov 2010, 16:25, Reply)

I don't know "Ron" is a good solid, earthy, hard working, honest, god fearing, safe kind of name.
It wears a flat cap and a donkey jacket and does a bit of building work on the side, know what I mean?
(Bazongaloid, Fri 19 Nov 2010, 16:34, Reply)

...like that Ron Bacardi.
Poor cunt.
