She was Maisie Ruth, her husband was Leslie; her brother is Ronald.
Her daughter Beryl married Barrie; her son Malcolm married Lilwen.
All good traditional British names, but then:
her grandchildren are Gary, Tracey and Jason;
and her great-grandchildren are Connor, Taylor, Blu, Tyler, Kaya and Zeph.
Maybe there is an Australian flavour about those bizarre fourth generation names?
Times change, and I must change with them, I suppose, but I can't understand why parents would so ignore their childrens' cultural legacy.
Like tattoos, such names are a passing fashion. They will disappear in the next generation.
