What were your grandmothers called?

[wildpoppy]

I think I like old fashioned names - anyone care to share what their grandmothers/great-grandmothers were called.

Isabella and Jeannie

Elizabeth and Mary

Mine - Beryl and Margaret (known as Rita)

DHs - Helen and Kathleen

Annie & agnes

One was Ellen Esther, known as Nell.

The other was Eliza Alice Emily, but she didn't like Eliza so called herself Eileen, which isn't nearly as nice imo.

has anyone said Fran and anna

Olwyn and Irene

Step grandparents were margaret and Emily

Nancy and Nona.

Grandmothers: Isobel and Grace
Great Grandmothers (only know three): Ellen, May and Postumia (meaning that her father died before she was born).

Rose and Joan. Great gm was Rose too.

Everilda and Constance.

Maria and Hilda

We've used two of the four greatgrandmother names already: Alexandra, Margaret, Elizabeth and Carmen (the last one was Spanish).

Eluned (welsh) & Margaret

Bertha and Renee

Hilda and Doris

Jacqueline (my mums mum) and Natalina (my dads mum)

No idea what ggms were called though.

Grandfathers were Gaston (mums) and Gino (dads)

I love Gino and wanted it for ds but dh said it would cause an International Incident Of Epic Proportions if we used my grandfathers name and not dh's grandfathers name (dh didn't like his grandfathers name - Enrico - so didn't want it as a middle name either. FiL probably wouldn't have accepted us using it as "just" a middle name either but he's a twat )

Great-grandmothers - Susan, Letitia, Mary and Rebecca (Ruby - trendsetter in the early 1900s even if she was a wicked old devil!) Not very Scottish really.

Grandmothers - Elizabeth (never shortened to a nickname) and Rebecca (known as Ruby like her mother and my aunt).

Really like Amelia though, lovely name.

My grandmothers were Molly and Edith.

Great Grans were
Amelia
Hephzibah Annie(Known as Nancy)
Sarah Ann (Annie)
Eliza Ellen (Nellie)

DH's were Bessie and Violet
Great grandmothers:
Lily
Jane
Annie
Amelia
