Re: Where did your given name come from?

I was named after an uncle who was in the 1930s head huntsman for the New Forest buckhounds.
Strange thing is I am 100% anti hunting of wild animals with dogs

I was named after an American actress.
I can be a drama queen at times.

I have no idea, but it was a very popular name, as there were 3 in my class & a few others in my year.

I was not familiar with Margaret Lockwood although my wife was. We just saw her in a 1940's movie with Rex Harrison & Paul Henried. Sorry to drift off-topic.
