[Opinions] Re: Myra and Vera
I'm surprised Vera never caught on in Britain, but hardly anyone has it.
One of Britain's most beloved singers is Dame Vera Lynn, who helped raise the nation's morale during the Second World War, and was known as "the Forces' Sweetheart". She's still alive, aged about 92 - and had a Number One hit recently with an old song!
Myra is a taboo name here - owing to public revulsion; it was the name of a loathsome woman surnamed Hindley who helped a notorious torturer/murderer of children in his wicked deeds.
