My aunt Minnie was registered with that name in 1901...just like her mum in 1873. Gwyn |

Quite a popular name in it's own right from the 1870's onward. I believe it was the nickname of Queen Alexandra's sister, which may have helped popularise the name. At that time Alexandra was Princess of Wales. Jay |
