Christine Davenier: Hello. My name is Christine Davenier, and I'm French, so in French we used to have several names. So I have Christine, but I also have Sylvie. And I'm the baby; I have two older sisters. I have to say that the sister who is just before me had two names, Isabelle and Christine, so it seems like I was expecting because before I was born there was already a Christine in the air. So my parents were not very creative, and they gave me a very fashionable name for the 60s. So in every class there were at least two or three Christines at the same time. And what I have to tell you that in fact, in my family, nobody ever called me Christine. They all called me Titi, T I T I, which is a part of this name. And the only time they called me Christine, I was not very happy. It meant that they were angry with me, like "Christine!"
