How did you get your name?

If I was a boy I would have been named Timothy which am sure would have been shortened to Timmy!Not that I dislike the name but am so pleased to be a girl...

I was the 3rd Daughter for my parents+ Dad had three much older children from his first marriage.Think they ran out of ideas and our neighbour came up with my name, where my middle name came from I have no idea.

Flutterby, I was to be named Antony, Tony for short! Mum had that name in narrow blue ribbon on my pillowcases. I believe they removed it when I arrived

Gemini, bless your Mum bet she was so proud of those pillowcases... Am sure she loved the pink ones too!
