HOW BRONTE LAW GOT HER DISTINCTIVE FIRST NAME

Bronte Law put her name up in lights by winning the SLGA Under-16 girls' open stroke-play title at Strathmore Golf Centre last Friday.
But her first name has always been distinctive and there's a beautiful little story about how her parents, Morven and Tim, came to pick "Bronte."
Morven explains:


Hi Colin

We took forever to agree on Bronte’s name! We were going to call her Harrison if she was a boy (Tim’s Mum’s maiden name). However we just couldn’t come up with a girl's name we could agree on.

Then the film Greencard came on around the Christmas before Bronte was born and I had forgotten the first time I had watched it, what a beautiful name I thought Andi McDowell's character had …. Bronte!

I suggested it to Tim and he said ”That’s the first name you have come up with that I like” and that was it, name sorted.

The strange thing was my mum then arrived with lots of books about the Bronte family and sketches of their house, etc, I had bought when I was a Girl Guide and I had visited Howarth.

I had forgotten the keen interest I had had about the Bronte family when I was younger and  how much I had loved reading Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.

So that just re-enforced the fact that we had picked the right name!

Kind regards
