.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.
ReplyDeleteAll done! And on the correct day too!!
ReplyDeleteI 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)
