[Opinions] Re: Another BA from same friend I've talked about previously
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Wy is there an h in Wyatt?
Four given names are too many even for me. I was advised to give my children two middle names by a lady who lived in Portsmouth and had worked during the War, contacting the family members of deceased or missing sailors. She said that she'd had to work through many pages of John Smith, a lot of pages of John William Smith, and just one single entry for John William Edward Smith, and with a common surname like mine, I should seriously consider making life easier for people who might have to work through lists one day! Her nephew, a good friend of mine, is Peter Kenneth Charles LN; I could see her point, and mine have three given names each.
Eloise, Elizabeth and Catherine are all lovely, but I'd have preferred Eloise Catherine Elizabeth.
Lilian is fine; Lillian is one L too many, and the same applies to Lilly. Lilian Marie is better; Lilian Mary would have pleased me more.
I'm sure I've rated your lists, but I'll check right now.

I was as eyebrow raised at the Whyatt spelling too... don't get me wrong. But it's what she liked apparently. But I think Wyatt would have been better, yeah
