Hospital scans got the sex of DGS, now 14, wrong, so his middle name, which is the same as a beloved great uncle on our side of the family was a lovely surprise.
DGD, 15, was called by two names initially, not hyphenated. The second name was given to remember a recently deceased lady then in her seventies and is a typical name of that generation of women.
Fortunately it isn't too bad. It's not a name that even registers as being given to any children in the last 20 years on data charts though. Mine averages around 50-60 a year, in comparison, though I can't recall hearing it given to anyone now under 25.
Over the years my grand-daughter's 'extra' name has quietly dropped out of use. She's now doing her GCSE's and I don't think it's been used whilst she has been in high school.
