I mean 7, 6, 8

There was a girl at school a year after me called Petrina Green. This was not a large school, either. I see nothing unusual in the name.

I've never seen that name before it was mentioned here.

Clues: Three 'given' names - all common - and one 'family' name. Origin of family name, N.W. England (and, surprisingly quite a few in Ireland.)

No Rebecca here. And Tina can be a nickname. In fact is.

Hmm. Am I barking up the wrong tree assuming that you are Female?

[Huxley] Did she look like a witch?
[Angus] Definition of 'a bit erm ...' see above :-)

Chalky] Do you mean 'a bit erm' in the assumption of gender sense or do you mean that I am 'a bit erm' too?
Tina] - I'd better qualify that 'cos you've said your nick-name is Tina...
Nicknames can be very deceptive. I knew a Fairy (male), a Pinny (male), a Pog (female) and a Beardy (female). I am male and was (boringly) hailed by surname.

Chalky] Oops. You meant she looked like a ...
What a dickhead I am :o)
