Mystery name
« on: Wednesday 12 March 25 07:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

A more modern mystery but this site looks amazing.

My wife is a headteacher and has been left a gift on her desk but can't read the handwriting on the name. We don't think it's a staff member. We came up with Noella but there's no Noella in the school at all.

You'd put to bed a gift mystery and any awkward non-thanking situations that may arise!

This is a Jewish school so it's more than likely a Hebrew name.

Might it be Poulla?
Hard to say as the letters are the same height .
What a shame , I hope it is sorted.Perhaps the question might be asked in assembly ,that something that needed your wife’s attention has been put on her desk but the name of the person who did that is hard to read.
Would they contact her please.

Hope it gets sorted .
Viktoria.

A vote for Donna.
Comparing the ‘n’s with the M of Mrs, similar form

Only thing is the D of Dear is nothing like, but then this is a signature and Dear is the first word where they began neatly…..
