Top 10 baby names of the 50s
Days when the media breathlessly report that two lesbians have had a 'child' and the law allows the lesbian partner to have the father's name expunged from the birth certificate and replaced with her own.
You know how it is with lesbians, one Campari and reach for the suitcase to move in. It is all 'love' and hardware (heh, heh). Next is choose the sex of the 'child'- easier than convincing a boy mistake to 'choose' to become a girl. LOL
Where the taxpayer is paying for it, I would prefer that they use the Target turkey baster than a medico in a white coat with a more expensive alternative.
Deanna and Nautilus I never took nuffin serious at all, and I was tongue in cheek trust me.
BUT per a million to one chance I ever saw either of your posts because if we do not pan up who knows if anyone ever answers a post a million miles up I ask? I am never going to answer a post within a post ever again as too many never seen as we miss them when we even answer in a new one, much less in another's home hey?
Well I know what I am talking about so there........:)
I live in Goulburn, NSW and the name PATRICIA is prevalent here in the (say) 50-80 age group; does anyone know who Patricia was back then or is it just an ancient name coming down the generations? What does it mean and where did it originate?
btw, my name is Phileppa and I thought I'd been named for Prince Phillip who'd been in Sydney at the time of my birth. Not brought up in family so I chose that thought! While doing a little ancestral search I found that the name Phillipa was VERY common in my Cornish ancestry and a teenager with my exact full name arrived in Australia 100 years before my birth. So I still don't know who my dad was! (no no.. I really didn't think that!)
Love your story Pip, I was named after Deanna Durbin, unfortunately that's as far as it went. LOL LOL LOL
Pip,
Patricia Medina could have popularised the name. She died recently.
I was named after the guy who killed Goliith the Gaint with a sling and I've been killing by other means ever since I was born.
I Was called Patricia but I don' have a clue why ,not a family name on either side ;My grandkids call me Nan, the greats call me Nanny , as for my kids I called the I..I( injured innocense) M.C.(misplaced confidence and A.B.C.(absolute bloody Carelessness)
Hi Tadpole Patricia, did you see the comment from Nautilus about Patricia Medina and my reply? The fact that you didn't have ancestors of that name may mean you were named for her; worth checking that link. How fortunate are you to be a Nan and a Nanny; my having had just one (late) child means very little chance of my becoming even a Nan!
