Inspired by the Grandad thread!

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

Oh and a sweet tale is that my DGM was actually going to be Patricia but when her siblings met her, they insisted she was called Alice after Alice in wonderland. As a result she is Alice Patricia.
