What type of hosta is this?

We have a hosta we haven't been able to identify. Can anyone help? The one to the right is a Francis Williams, in the middle is a Guacamole. It is the one on the left we are wondering about. The leaves are 20cm long and 15cm wide. We planted it as a small plant in 2015 and it has never been divided after that.

    Forgot to mention that the flowers are violet.

    If anyone knows it will be @Hostafan1, he is the expert.

    Is it big? It looks big and I know Frances Williams is big. It could be "Big Daddy". But I can't compete with @Hostafan1!
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    The leaves certainly look like Big Daddy from the pics we can find online. May be onto something here😊
