.The question for today's Tell All Tuesday is :
.
.
Were you named after anybody?
.
.
My answer
.
.
I wasn't exactly named after her, but The Avengers was very popular in the late sixties and early seventies, and I was named Emma because of Mrs Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) who was Steed's side-kick in the Avengers.
.
.
Emma wasn't a particularly common name back then ... not nearly as popular as it is now.
.
When I was expecting boy*jelly, we did consider using Tara for a girl's name - the next girl after Emma Peel was Tara King and it would have been quirky to carry it on, but I just knew he was going to be a boy!

I was named after the nurse that looked after my Mum when she had me (my name's Janet). When I knew I was expecting a som my stepsons wanted to call him Jordie after a Dutch footballer, we compromised and called him Jordan.
All done! And on the correct day too!!
I was named after two of my mums sisters. Elizabeth and Margaret. People all thought I was named after the Queen and her sister, but no it was Aunty Lizzie and Aunty Maggie. I used to think it was so old fashioned but I like it. My daughter's names are Emma Elizabeth and Anna Mary, (Mary after my mother)
Talk about keep it in the family
