Inspired by the Grandad thread!

Mine were Elizabeth and Hilda. One is a great name that I'd use, the other not so much.

Mabel and Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is my middle name, and if I'd ever had a girl, she would have been Mabel (if I'd been able to sneak it past dh!).

Audrey Dorothy Clara was my Dads mum. I love all those names and would have loved any of them for DD but DH vetoed them all.

Other granny was Joyce Ethel.

DDs middle name is Joy in remembrance of her.

RoseMartha Violet and Grace struck me as lovely names for twins for some reason! Smile

Mine were Lorna (Australian) and Nellie (English). I think Nellie is lovely but she hated it and always went by a nickname derived from her surname

Harriet and Frances. Born in the 1880’s. Gosh that makes me feel old! My mother would have been over 100 now if she was still alive.

Joan and Jemima

ItchyAnkles · 19/01/2019 22:20

Nora and Madelon. Such an unusual name and she's still alive which is very outing I suppose. Nora died when I was a child. My GGM's were Emily, Florence, Elizabeth and Edna.

Kate and Clara

DD is really pissed off Clara has taken off as she's had it earmarked since she was a teenager.

Jean and Grace

Florence (Florrie) and Sarah (Sis/Sissy). They'd be in their 100s now.
