I know there have been threads about this, but I can't find any for some reason.
At the moment I'm stuck on Stanley, but DH gone off it a bit because my bro was taking the piss about Flat Stanley.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received.

My FIL (b1922)was called Stanley, but hated it so was known as Frank (his second name) all his life. My Dad (b1910) is Donald Frederick Stuart, his dad (b1886) was Donald Bertram Scott.
My mum's dad (b1894) was Arthur George.
