One mark of the Lost Girls’ complex emotional lives is the number of surnames they managed to accumulate. Lys was, successively, Lys Dunlap, Lys Lubbock, Lys Connolly (by deed poll) and Lys Koch. Barbara began life as Barbara Skelton before re-emerging as Barbara Connolly, Barbara Weidenfeld and, ultimately, Barbara Jackson. Sonia was born Sonia Brownell, became Sonia Orwell (very occasionally Sonia Blair) and was briefly known as Sonia Pitt-Rivers. Janetta was at various times addressed as Janetta Woolley, Janetta Slater, Janetta Sinclair-Loutit (by deed poll), Janetta Kee, Janetta Jackson and, finally, as Janetta Parladé, strictly speaking the Marquesa de Apezteguia. To avoid confusion, I have tended to refer to them simply as ‘Lys’, ‘Barbara’, ‘Sonia’ and ‘Janetta’.
