Re: Names from an Australian girls' school
in reply to a message by LillyMargaret
Thanks for your comments! Yes, there were some boarders at this school, and judging my some of the names, I wouldn't be surprised if some had Irish or Scottish heritage.
I think the "retro-chic" names like Penelope, Marilyn, Bernadette, Prudence etc were not very popular in Australia at that time, so they definitely stood out to me.
