Geoff:
I did mention her name several posts ago along with Hermione Gingold, 
another well-known actress.

The point I made which really sparked off this thread was the suggestion 
that only the Weasleys had what could be called "normal" names. I listed 
several names which were not unusual just to show that the split was 
more balanced that Nikkalmati's original thoughts

My list was not exhaustive. Others which have come to mind since include:
Hannah, Terry, Seamus, Sally-Ann, Susan, Millikcent and Mandy.
