When my parents were trying to decide what to call me (I was born in the last week of 1957) they couldn’t decide. Dad wanted to call me Daphne, Mum preferred Jane. They had reached deadlock. Then this lady came on the telly, and they both looked at each other and agreed at last. Thank you Pauline Tooth.
