My family

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

I've seen loads of families listed here so I thought I'd do a post about  my own family. These are all the names from my mother's side of the family.
I'm leaving middle names out because some of them are too weird for my own liking.

Ciaran and Hermione (grandparents)

Winifred "Winnie" (aunt, married Joe)
- Olly (b)
- Nina (g)
- Adrianne (g)

Blair (uncle, married Patricia)
- Sue (g)
- Maud (g, has twins: daughter Jooly "Jools" and son Miles)

Bethel (my mother, twin to Alistair, married Guido)
- Daniel (b, daughter Wilhelmina and son Paisley)
- Charles "Chaz" (b, twin to Brighton)
- Brighton (b, twin to Chaz)
- Nobby (b, twin to Sloane)
- Sloane (me, twin to Nobby)
- Phineas "Phin" (b)

Alistair (uncle, twin to Bethel, married Queenie)
- Posy (g)
- Devon (b)
- Russel (b)

Beryll (aunt, married Percy)
- Darcy (b)
- Elspeth "Elly" (g)

I get vivid images of a very well-to-do family. I really like your and your siblings names. Although I do have to ask what is up with "Nobby" as a name? And give your mom a handshake from me! Two sets of twins!

Ciaran and Hermione - Gosh, i love it Ciaran's parents were trendy before their time! & I would adore Hermione.. alas HP has made it pop culture forever.


Blair- I actually like this though I think Tony, doesnt bother me.

Jooly "Jools" and son Miles- Jooly is AWFUL. I prefer Myles.

Charles- Love, prefer Charlie to Chaz though
Brighton- I really like it, possibly because there's a TV show 'Everwood' and the character Bright 'brighton' is hot.. uhm.. I think it's a bit much for England though.. Brighton is a cool seaside town known for it's gay culture.
- Nobby- wtf? sorry but that's so odd. A knob is a penis..
- Sloane- ehh.. a sloane ranger is a rather annoying type on rich bitch from London who loves herself too much. It's not my kind of name really, I go for the feminine frilly names..
- Phineas- love love.

Alistair
- Posy - cute, reminds me of the book 'ballet shoes'
- Devon - okay
- Russel - Sould be Russell.

- Darcy - I really don't know. It could be really tacky and common, but then I think it could be rather distinguished. I love Darcey Bussell though so it has a good feeling.
- Elspeth "Elly" - Don't like Elly at all.
- Scott - Hate
- Callum (g) - love, but on BOY Callum is really really not a girls name.


You have a lot of twins in your family! & a very interestingly named lot!
Just out of curiosity, where do you live?

PS, please give middle names.. after those first names i'm really intrigued!

I live in Belgium but my mum is British. So her family all live in the UK.

And Yeah Nobby hates his name too.
Russel should indeed be Russell, it's a typo. Oops.
I adore Darcey Bussell too, she's my inspiration as a ballet dancer.

ahh, you're a dancer too? As if I couldn't guess from your icon..

Lots of those names sound so typically British eccentric upper class!

Poor Nobby, any idea what posessed your parents?

Mum says she got Nobby out of a book. I'm not sure which, I think something like Mr Jeeves or something.

Yep I'm a ballet dancer. Didn't choose it as a career but I could do it all day long, but that's fysically impossible.
