My Paternal Grandfather was Norman Trevor
My Maternal Grandfather was Reginald Leonard.

Both of them had their middle names as their fathers name...a tradition I'm going to carry on with my son.

Maternal grandad was Joe

Paternal grandad was Eric which wasn't actually his first name but his middle name.
His first name was Robert.

I remember going to his retirement and all of these people calling him "Bob" and I was thinking " who the fuck is Bob?!" And panicked I was in the wrong function room.

Joseph Stanley and William.

My DS is William, if I had another he’d be Joseph Stanley. I love all their names - it’s a nice coincidence that they would be tributes.
