What Is Your Downton Abbey Name?

First name of any of your Grandparents.
Name of any school you attended.

Obviously don't respond if you feel it's sensitive information.

Mine is Alice Henry Floyd.
I have gifted my sister Daisy Quarrendon (very below stairs dontcha know)
And my bro can be James St Louis.

No reason the names should sound British.
They brought some staff back from the Colonies :facepalm:

Hmmm...

Patricia Sharples....

Or,

Nellie Gaskell.

Marion St. Martin

Edna Wynnum

Lidya St. Margaret (upstairs?)
or
Araceli Sanchez (staff brought from abroad) :)

Leila George Earle

Marvin Wesson Attendance Center

Adeline Connaught.

Or ... Adeline Regina. :p:

No need to include the whole name. But I'd stil suggest a chauffeur or a groom

No. Not Regina, that is reserved only for the Queen.

NB: my Mum has researched our genealogy and we are char-women and washer-women and people who hide when the rent-men come. So my opinions are in jest and not meant to denigrate anyone else's familes.

William Evans, great name for a barrister.

or

Joseph Akiba, a little too Jewish for Downtown Abbey.

Elizabeth Vanier - just sounds upper crust!

Eugene MacDonell- tg I'm a country boy

These are all such fun character names!

George Newcastle

That's the only school I attended that would work.

James Burnside
Or
Maury Pickering

Maybe James Pickering. ...

Definitely not Maury Burnside..... too holocausty

Arthur Thatcher

Sounds like an oxymoron, I know!

James Pickering sounds good.
If a little nouveuax riche. Probably made his money in banking and his Grandfather had to buy his own furniture.

small world. I would be:

Maury Oxford

or perhaps Fredrick Charter Oak

Frederick Carter Oak sounds like a good chum. He was at Harrow at the same time as me you know, had the most amazing line in patter.

Bought it at Ypres, sadly.

John Community College?

Patrick Trinity

Winston Eisenhower

Fredrick State University of New York at Albany just doesn't have much of a ring to it.

Ha! True enough.

Frederick Albany on the other hand...

Downton Abbey really should introduce a character called Winston Eisenhower.

A visitor from America.

Probably an industrialist or something.

hahahaha!!

I would love that!

William Blessed Sacrament

LOL. I could see you as Prinnyannie. You should use that as your username

My great-grandmother had eleven names, plus her last name. That one was one of 'em.

To hear my grandmother speak her mother's name is like listening to somebody call a square dance! :lol2:

ELEVEN? What year was she born? Were any of them "virtue" names like Patience or Prudence?

Yep. 1899. I can't remember all of them, but, I don't think so. She went by Myrtie. We all called her Granny.
