Yes, yes, yes to
Philippa and
Blanche. Adore both.
Coincidentally, when
Pippa Middleton was getting married I had a name nerdy notion that her daughter would be
Eleanor Blanche or
Blanche Eleanor. I think the idea came to me after I had read a book on
Kathryn (
Catherine) Swynford, mistress (then wife) to
John of Gaunt. Her sister married
Geoffrey Chaucer, btw. I've thought it would make a great mini series for some clever British producer. Anyway, there was a
Blanche in there too, maybe
John of Gaunt's first wife?
