Inspired by the Grandad thread!

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

Further to my Nan being called Ivy, her sisters were Lily, Rose, Violet and Iris, she always complained she was a weed amongst flowers! Her middle names were Beatrice Elizabeth. I think her whole name was beautiful.

Both called Pamela

Sheila and Theresa. Both 91 this year!

Lily and Rose. My parents pondered with calling me lily-rose. Always seemed horrific but now I think it's rather sweet.
