Name Spot of the Week

I love my of the Week posts, but my current ones don’t give me breadth to talk about the names I stumble across on real people during the week. Will this become a regular feature? Goodness knows, but right now, I want to share with you a recent name spot, fraternal female triplets:

Mabel

Alice

Phoebe

They feature in the BBC’s Child of our Time series, where children born in 2000 are followed until they’re 20 (?) to answer the big question: Nature or Nurture? As such, four sets of multiples are involved. The one above, identical scottish lad twins: Ivo and Alex, boy-girl twins Alexander and Charlotte (Alexander was stillborn), and another set of triplets: Helena, Barry and Mollie, of the latter, only Helena survived birth.
