Which Name Would You Choose?

I wanted to call DD "Peridot" or "Pascale", but DH put his foot down on such fancy names, so we called her Kathryn!

Fanny Kylie or Charlene ?

Ashley

I am presuming you are female, FannyC but Ashley is ambidextrous anyway

Michaela

Is there a prize?

I would choose Grace if choosing my name now, nothing to do with Princess Grace, but it sounds peaceful. Sasha is nice too.
As some (to me) ugly names are making a reappearance, I predict Agnes and Maud will rear their unlovely heads...?

Hollysteers, I too would like to have been Grace. 'Tuesday's child is full of grace' and I was born on a Tuesday.

Well shiver me timbers annodomini, I’ve just looked it up and I was born on a Tuesday! Never knew.
I’m enjoying this thread, thank you Fanny.

Fanny Kylie or Charlene ?

Ha ha! This made me lol!
My poor mother would be spinning in her grave at the thought.

Callistemon yes, I am female. Very much so!
Holly Grace is the most beautiful name. I've got a friend in her 20s called Grace and my aunty had a very dear friend who reached 100 called Grace. It's ageless and timeless.
My little dog is called Gracie

Grace wouldn't suit me at all as I am not in the slightest bit graceful.
Although I can be gracious in defeat

I could be Bonnie, Blythe or Gaye

Callistemon

Is there a prize?

Hmm... I'll have a think.
Anyway. Time for some clues.

1. There was a popular children's TV show in the 2000s which included my name in the title.

Sabrina?

As a very small child, I always wanted to be called Belinda after being read a book about Belinda Bear. I thought the name was Blinda!

Hope you enjoyed your birthday yesterday. Gosh, you are only a couple of years older than my daughter!

Mona. Dora. Pingu. Angela. Willa. Teletubby ?

Do you have a best friend called Ben?

Olivia
Peppa (Pig)
Maisy (Mouse)
Fifi
Angelina

Marmight ?

Pingu!

2. Probably the most well known incumbent (is that the right word?) of my name is a Scottish actress.

Isla?

Tilde Swinson? Matilda? Matilda /Tilly/Tildy Cornforth? Am I getting warm?

I like Freya. One of my great grandchildren is Isla, I like that too.

Tracy (Beaker)?

Hannah (Montana) ?

My name is common of it’s time but now has horrible connotations to a meme that’s been doing the rounds for the past few years. I think I’d like to rename myself, Catherine Carter. (Completely made up) I love names with alliteration

An old family friend was called Marjorie. At least we'd always known her that. Then when she was very old, she had an illness which left her confused and unable to communicate properly. She spent her final years in and out of hospital.

The staff insisted on calling her Constance. It turned out that was her first name, but she had never been known as Constance. How to ensure the confused elderly are even more confused. So unsympathetic.

...always known her as that...

NannaLyn

Hannah (Montana) ?

YESSS!!!

Well done NannaLyn!!!
Blimey, that was hard going, I thought that we'd be here all week

Congratulations Lyn! - referencing another thread - you win a lifetime's supply of the last thing that you bought!
(Plus a bull-shaped footstool from my own stash)

I always wanted to be called Jane. Easy to spell and hard to shorten unlike my given name. Talking with a friend about it recently she had a think then said “yes, but it wouldn't be you!” .
