Alexander Herbert Alistair makes me squint! I had a colleague named Nancy-Anne once, she signed herself NAnne, which is actually worse but ... Alexander Alistair ... what were the parents thinking? And big brother James: perhaps he's James Harold Jacob? Murdo and Ruaridh are dashing sibs; Alfie Sonny will live to regret it; four Alexanders and two Alfies are quite a lot; delighted to see two Davids and two Dereks.

One Beth nn and one Beth mn ... is this a trend? I'm glad to see Eloise and Chloe as fns and Anne, Margaret, Jennifer and Helen as mns. Connie is delightful, but I prefer Constance, nn Connie.
