HelpDream Names
I had a very strange dream last night. I was posting on here about twins Sarah and Hilary. I have no idea where these names came from as all I can think of when I see Hilary is Hilarious followed by Sir Edmund Hillary. Anyway what do you think of Sarah and Hilary?

I far prefer Hilary with one L. I'd never use it (DH is Hilton and his elder sister is Valerie) but I like it well enough on other people. Sarah is another story altogether. My dad's mother, Sarah Anne, died before I was born and he really, really wanted me to be Sarah Anne. Unfortunately, she had been a difficult lady and my mother was always having to drop what she was doing and drive across town to take her shopping or to visit a friend; she was young and in love and she did it with a smile, and could never tell anyone that she couldn't stand their mother! But she drew the line at Sarah Anne for me, and had - or perhaps engineered - a delivery-room epiphany about my fn, and graciously used Anne for my mn. Which means that I've grown up with a strong dislike for Sarah and deep relief at my escape.
