Names

[jwatts1981]

this might sound weird but here it goes where does the name trouble come from for a female
i was listening to someone on the radio and her name was trouble if anyone knows the answer to this let me know

A family in our town whose last name is Barr named their baby son Mars.

Now that is just cruel!

I called my first bra trouble (32AA haha). It was purple nylon gingham and itched like hell.

Ode to Prudie's 1st Bra

First one was a grow-it bra
stretchy pads covered two tiny bumps
not much grew in it
AA - haha

Prudie stuffed it with tissues
to look bigger visible straps
under white blouses
for all to see!

Trouble - she loved that bra
it was a part of her
even when Prudie slept
a decade faded the colour.

Ivory, nylon, gingham, even purple
until they grew breast by breast
ABC and D
hopefully no need for a hirple

Prudie's lost those bras now, all except one
purple colour, gingham, first AA cups and a couple
sometimes she opens her drawer to touch it
Prudie loves that first bra - trouble.

Could be derived from 'très belle' ( very beautiful)

That's brilliant DTC, only just seen your poem so thanks for taking the time. One thing for sure I remember that bra so clearly but have no recollection of any subsequent bras for the following 20 years at least of boob development.
