I Know/knew 3 Cliffords, all born in the late 1940s.

I don't have any in my tree though - or at least I haven't found any yet!


My Mum's name was Mollie, now a popular name again. She went through all her school life never knowing another Mollie spelt that way. My Grandad had heard the name somewhere, liked it and then gave it to his daughter.

I was watching a TV programme over the weekend where Neil Fox & his daughter Martha appeared. I love the name Martha, but it was considered much too old fashioned when I had my daughters in 1976 & 1980. I wanted to call my elder daughter Daisy, but my favourite Great Aunt (Daisy) insisted that it was a name people called their cows, like Buttercup, and that put me off a bit as I thought she must know! .

My mother in law wanted me to call my eldest son William as my husband was a third generation William Fraser. I rebelled as I did not like the name. His father had left home when my husband was 12 so he did not want to preserve the name.
