At some point in the 80s they were allowed to dewimple AND go back to their own names!
Which was a bit confusing because we went from some rather exotic nun-names - Bonaventure, Benignous, Benedict, Pious, Hyacinth (I always wanted to ask how she got away with that one) to a host of Eileens.
The stealth nunning was very freaky tho. They looked almost like NORMAL people! They could be ANYWHERE. LURKING.
