We know several Pams married to Peters, and even more Ann/Annes married to Mike/Michaels.
Anyone else noticed this?

jalima grin I seem to remember Peter and Pam had moved from The Close and were deemed to be irreplaceable.

Yes, the Stanleys are back - my 5 year old grandson is one of them. One of his friends is Sadie which always makes me think of an old couple! But, you get used to any name and usually it suits the person very well.

I know a Philip who is married to a Philipa and one of my names is the female version of DH's name.

We are M & S, which is better than S & M! We used to know a Pat and Pat. And there have been two John and Kathys.

Susan/Sue and David/Dave are the most common couples' names I know but both names are very common in my age group.

I don't know anyone with the same Christian name as me - which is taken from my full name of Elizabeth and I was named for my aunt.

Off the top of my head I can recall three television characters with the name, and two old time film stars. I grew up disliking my name but as an adult liked it as there are few of us about. (or so it seems to me)

I seem to be attracted to Rufus, but not sure that he feels the same about me.
Perhaps it's that my name doesn't match.
