My mam liked the names Rachel and Rebecca, dad didn't like rebecca Dad wanted Elizabeth Ann but mum put her food down and said no daughter of her would have the first name Elizabeth because 2 of her cousins were elizabeth and neither has her own identity they comprimised with Rachel Elizabeth! unbeknown to them at the time dad's grandmothers were Rachel and Elizabeth. My brother got himself named after a orcestral conducter and my Dad

I was named after my Dad's mate.... not that exciting. lol My mum, (Zena) was named after a princess warrior, or vice versa according to her. (She was named after someone in a magazine really, lol)

i asked my mum this the other day , she said it was a popular name in the 60s but our middle names have meanings like the time we were born ie; dawn and eve .

Don,t you find you can roughly tell the era you were born by your name exceptions of course. June.

I was named after my Dad (John- Jacques being the French version) when he realised that there would be no boy to carry on the name

Think it must have been one of the favoured names around the time - have come across quite a few others of a similar age! Meant my name, Jeanie, not yours!!! Jay
