Most of my favourite childhood shows have been covered, but there’s a few that haven’t.

I don’t know if it was screened anywhere else, but there was this show in the early 2000s in the UK called Shoebox Zoo which I loved, and it had some brilliant names.

[name]Edwin[/name]
[name]Bruno[/name]
[name]Ailsa[/name]
[name]Wolfgang[/name]
[name]Marnie[/name]
[name]Michael[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Hunter[/name]
[name]Kyle[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Ross[/name]

and the other characters went by their surnames. I’m pretty use that show’s where my love for the names [name]Bruno[/name] and [name]Marnie[/name] came from.

The other one I liked that was on around a similar time was called Jeopardy, about some teenage Scottish schoolkids in the Australian outback.

[name]Harry[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Chrissie[/name]
[name]Leon[/name]
[name]Shona[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Gerry[/name] - the teacher
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Melissa[/name]

And finally The Sleepover Club - I loved the books but was a bit disappointed by the TV series changing the setting from the UK to Australia, though it was still good.

[name]Francesca[/name] “[name]Frankie[/name]”
[name]Rosalind[/name] “[name]Rosie[/name]”
[name]Felicity[/name] “Fliss”
[name]Kendra[/name] “[name]Kenny[/name]” - in the books she was nicknamed [name]Kenny[/name] from her surname [name]McKenzie[/name]
[name]Lyndsay[/name] “Lyndz”
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Marco[/name]
[name]Michael[/name]
[name]Sara[/name]
[name]Alana[/name]

The second series (which was awful) focused on [name]Frankie[/name]'s cousin and her friends:

[name]Charlotte[/name] “[name]Charlie[/name]”
[name]Madeline[/name] “[name]Maddy[/name]”
[name]Tayla[/name]
[name]Brooke[/name]
[name]Jessica[/name] “[name]Jess[/name]”
[name]Jason[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Krystal[/name]
[name]Caitlin[/name]

17

I think it might have been [name]Donny[/name]/[name]Donnie[/name]? Can’t forget Beans either!

18

She was a [name]Ren[/name], like me :smiley:

19

Gosh, how did I miss this thread?!

I have the Clangers and Bagpuss on DVD and still watch them :o Soup Dragon and Professor Yaffle wouldn’t make great names though.

I was also majorly obsessed with Pokemon and The Sleepover Club when I was young cringe. I reckon my naming style now most closely resembles [name]Thomas[/name] the Tank (which I also loved). So many lovely classics- [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Edward[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Henry[/name]… :stuck_out_tongue:

Other old faves (yeahhh sorry if they’ve already been mentioned. I only flicked through PPs quickly):

The Worst Witch - [name]Mildred[/name], [name]Maud[/name], [name]Enid[/name], [name]Ethel[/name]
Recess - TJ, [name]Gretchen[/name], [name]Vince[/name], [name]Gus[/name], Spinelli (what was her real name?!), [name]Mikey[/name]
[name]Rosie[/name] & [name]Jim[/name]
Fireman [name]Sam[/name] - [name]Sam[/name], [name]Elvis[/name], [name]Penny[/name], [name]Dilys[/name], [name]Sarah[/name] & [name]James[/name], [name]Norman[/name]
[name]Wild[/name] Thornberries - [name]Eliza[/name] (:heart:), [name]Debbie[/name], [name]Darwin[/name], [name]Nigel[/name], [name]Donnie[/name]
Babar - [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Flora[/name]
Tots TV - [name]Tilly[/name], [name]Tom[/name] & [name]Tiny[/name]

Honourable mention to Titch, Pingu, The Wombles and Mr [name]Benn[/name]- none of which have any usable names :smiley:

20

Eee! All of these :slight_smile: [name]Ah[/name] memories. I still heart the Soup Dragon.

Regarding Recess, her real name was [name]Ashley[/name]. She should have been [name]Ashley[/name] S :wink:
