How did your parents pick your name?

Mum only ever said they chose my name was because they liked it…... no links to family history at all. The ‘Elizabeth' I think may have been because I was born on ‘Princess Elizabeth’ s birthday - April 21st. She and I are 20 years apart… and she’s still going strong at 89. God Save the Queen!

At least I wasn’t named for either of my grandmothers…. Fanny Currie and Jemima Walker… bit of a toss up there as to which of those I might have preferred……...
