a children's comic called Playhour and in it there was a cartoon strip featuring Harold Hare.
I had that comic too!  Harold had friends Dickie Dormouse and Happy Hedgehog...it was my favourite story and do you know I can't remember anything more about that comic  :(

My grandmother was Adelina Isabella.  I wanted to call our daughter Adelina. She is a Quested and of course the most famous (fictional) Quested is Adela in A Passage To India.

So Adelina was vetoed as a) it would look as if we were making some reference to the fictional Quested, and would not wish to have something nasty happen to her in the Malabar Caves, and b) she would be mocked.

Old names are coming back.  My Great-nieces are Olive and Eliza.
