I've found a lot more named cultivars than there is in the Plant Files here Louise, yours has a distinct habit and fronds which doesn't look like Fluffy Ruffles to me.

I found one called Hill's Boston Fern - Nephrolepis exaltata Hillii which in the photo given looks more like yours, it's difficult finding any other good photo though.

This is an antique variety from the 1930’s and is a ruffled bigger version of the Boston Fern on steroids. The fronds are 4 inches wide and up to 48 inches long with very ruffled, pale green foliage when new turning dark green when mature.
