The thread on grandmothers names has given me loads of inspiration for DC2, so I'm now looking for the same for male names.

Mine were William and Ronald
DH were William and Harry

Grandfathers were Cecil and Ebert. Friedrich Ebert was the name of the 1st German President when my grandfather was born just after the First World War in England to English parents. WTF were they thinking?! Confused

Great Grandfathers:
James
Fred (not short for anything)
Alfred (Alfie)
Walter

A leetle less scary...
