Pinkie Barnes

Lavender Rosamund Marguerite ("Pinkie") Barnes (18 April 1915 – 14 September 2012) was an English international table tennis champion. Barnes did not like the short forms of any of her three Christian names and was keen to be called a nickname; 'Pinkie' apparently derived from her babyhood complexion. She played for England 11 times between 1946 and 1950 and won various trophies including the Championship of the Netherlands. She was considered particularly glamorous among sports personalities of the late 1940s.
