If you didn't read Blyton, no matter, you'll get the point. Your Blyton name is your Great Uncle's first name and the name of your primary school. If you are female, it's your (her) great aunt's first name and her primary school, obviously. if you have no great uncle or aunt then it's the generation that counts. That makes me Cecil Hazeldene, who absolutely sounds like a Blyton character with a monocle, and Mrs C is thus Edna Margaret Dane, who's undoubtedly the tomboy sixth former.

Frank St Peter or maybe Arthur Rawdon depending on which great uncle and how the school name is used. Both sound more like grown ups than children. SWMBO would be Elizabeth Crosby; perhaps a slightly ungainly pupil at Mallory Towers. Last edited by: Bromptonaut on Wed 27 Jun 12 at 15:01 Reply to this message | Report message

Vera and Mikki Crosby - definitely two sisters, one who has a riding accident, but gamely struggles through the term to see her sister Vera take the lacrosse cup. Reply to this message | Report message

>> There's another version that we like here...Name of first pet followed by mum's maiden name. My best mate became Skippy Allcock using that formula! To go back to the OP, my Enid Blyton name would be Frank Farnborough. Not terribly exciting. Mrs B's would be Derek Woodvale. Equally uninspiring! Reply to this message | Report message

Applying this for the kids blights them with the village name as an EB surname. Taking their senior school by deed poll makes them Stella and Ed Campion. Reply to this message | Report message

how many of you use your mothers maiden name as the answer to security questions? ;-) keep `em coming - i`m collecting!! Reply to this message | Report message

Some good names here, but lots of them sound like Mills and Boon heroes! There is a variant that uses mother's maiden name, but I avoided suggesting it for exactly that reason. I also avoided the "what's your porn star" name game on grounds of delicacy. I hate sites that only offer a limited range of such questions as "maiden name" as their security question. You lose that info once, you're wide open on all the other sites that you've used it as well, and it's not hard to find out that information about somebody if you want to. Much better to have a "set your own question" option, which I always do, and always forget the answer. Reply to this message | Report message

No, but then I'll forget what I've used. Or use the same one everywhere, so again, if (and it's a harder if this time I agree) it gets discovered, I'm in trouble everywhere again. Reply to this message | Report message
