My nan is Lena but she goes by Alison (middle name)

My late grandfather was Henry (which is my ds' middle name) but people called him Harry

Her mum was called Elswyth which is my mums middle name too.

Lots of lovely names on here

They were

Phoebe & James (Jim)
Elizabeth (Bette) & Harold (Harry)

They are Fred and Sheila and were George and Eirlys. I love the name Eirlys and as it was also husband's grandmother's name it is a strong contender if we have a girl.

Neil and Catherine (known as Cathie)
Norman and Caroline

Wierdly, it's only at this moment that I've realised both couples had the same initials!

I don't know about grandparents, but on the Scottish side, I had great aunts called Donaldina, Johnina and Duncanina (evidently the MacLeod way was to think of a name for a boy, and then just add "-ina" to the end if a girl happened to emerge )

Nan's names both pretty ( i think) -
