What are your parents' names?

Names often skip a generation, so I was wondering what everyone's parents names are. It could be a vague look into the future...

Mine are Dan and Wendy
DH's are Nick and Michele

My friends mums and dads were:

Christine, Sue, Linda, Barbara (Babs!), Elaine, Pam, Gill, Rose

Arnold, Tony, Tom, Bill, Pete, Graham, Dave, Alan

Anyone saying their parents were Nicola, Julie, Rob or Ian is way too young to be on MN Grin

Mine were Mum and Dad. I think that they were quite common names in those days, most of my friend's parents seemed to have similar names.

I have seen my name mentioned, but to be fair I have kids in their 30s so am probably a similar age to some posters' parents.
