What is your DOWNTON name? Are you upstairs or downstairs

[tintinthegingertomcat]

What is your Downton Name and would you be upstairs or downstairs.

You take the first name of one of your grandparents and then the name of your primary school. Once you have ascertained that....would you be upstairs or downstairs.

Mine is Jessica St Cuthbert

This name screams "upstairs"

Sounds a bit Jane Austin to me.

[captainbovine]

Chez, you'll have to sit on the stairs as the first name is upstairs and the second sounds downstairs....

Stan, that was a lovely curtsey...take the rest of the day off, and have a horlicks on me and sleep well.

Oh dear, mine's Rosina Upminster Junior School.  Perhaps I'm doing it wrong.

[captainbovine]

Rosina Upminster....oh yes, new money to prop up Downton, you've rescued the family finances!

[stampingpat]

Geneva Third Ward......hmmmm I think I should hide under the stairs. LOL

[vamo48]

I'm Florrie Hamstel, and I belong in the kitchen!

[cookiecookuk]

mine is edith ludham i am deffinatly down stairs.

[wizilizi]

Mine is Ellen James Allen

Ellen was in service - a housemaid - but the double surname sends her upstairs, do you think?

The alternative is Pearl James Allen - she would undoubtedly be nicknamed Pearl Jam today!!  which I think is a rock or pop group??  (& she'd be furious at that - she was a strict lady, a farmers daughter who had kept her father & five bros in order after their mother died)

[notgrumpyreally]

Victoria Ottershaw

[ginap.123]

Eleanor may be the posh one, the other one was Nellie, definately down !

[ilove2patch]

I had the choice of Edith or Gertrude! Gertie sounds a bit common! lol The school was Runnymead-House so double barreled! lol

[wizilizi]

I wonder when Gertrude will come back into fashion again?  Most names do

My Mum was Elsie, & she hated it for being old-fashioned even when she was a girl

She was aghast when in her eighties she encountered little tots named Elsie

I think Elsie is a pretty name

[rainydaywoman11]

I am Mary Camphill - scullery maid for me.

[ilove2patch]

My Nan Gertrude was German. Pop used to call her Gertie.

[twishy123]

My other grandma was Evelyn and her sister was Haney...I've never come across anyone else called Haney,I think it's quite nice...

Their brother was called Pashley

[captainbovine]

my OH's great grandad was called Muzepha, now if he isn't the gardner I don't know who is hahahahaaa

[shelly180]

Christina Park for me.

Could be either, I can imagine a Lady Christina Park but can also see Chrissy Park the housemaid too!

[dark_castle1]

Either John or William Bellsbank.

Not even downstairs for me ! More like outside looking in.
