Thanks Robert ...... what you have done (how did you do it?) has presented the name much more clearly than the original and put some doubt on the 'dot' (ie .. were they really dotted 'i's?)
'Millie' could shape up well ....... so how about 'Nellie'?

Simply turned it from a positive to a negative and played with contrast.  It doesn't always work but for some reason it is often easier to read inscriptions in negative than positive.

My attempt Smiley



I'm going to plump for Nellie, Millie or Amelie. I think it looks more like a fancy N or M than an A. who knows Smiley

That's a nice one, Em, nice and crisp.

When I saw this I read it straight of as Love from Alice  Roll Eyes ...I can't see how...once I looked at it properly I couldn't make anything of it and I'm pretty good on 'loopy' writing. I did think it might start Ab...but a loopy M seems a much better idea...

Whatever, here's a colour one.
