Re: Wanda, Tammy, and Crystal
in reply to a message by Martha
I suspect that you expect an answer like "children of a country-music duo" - right?
Tammy should be about 30+ by now, and Crystal (where I live anyway) could be her aunt, so 50 at the very youngest. The only Wanda I ever knew had a Polish father and a Scottish mother; her brother's name was Roderick. So their names weren't chosen according to fashion but to match the opposite-sex parent's origins.
I dislike Crystal for its costume-jewellery vibe; the only Tammy I've ever known is delightful but I had the misfortune once to see a Debby Reynolds movie about a ditzy blonde Tammy which put me right off the name for life, though I could just about face Tamsin. And I've got nothing to connect Wanda with, except that one little girl long ago. I suppose I'd think that each sister had probably been named after someone really special. Or, that it's a free country!

I suppose I am - thanks! Can't remember the details, especially Tambrey - is it a ln or just some mad scientist's invention?
