What were your grandmothers called?

[wildpoppy]

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

Anne and Betty/Florence and Milly

Julia & Lillian

My GM was Elsie and DH's was Lily (which is my DD's middle name).

We don't know either my Dad's mum's name (she died when he was little) or DH's paternal GM's name (his dad was adopted).

Mine: Agnes and Mary Ellen
DH's: Joan and Betty
Great gm Lilian.

Forgot to add my GGM was Clara which is a name i love but which didn't go with our surname.

Grandmothers - Vera and Kathleen
Great grandmother - Catherine

Hilda Florence and Frances . If we had had a girl she would have either been Florence or had Florence as a second name . Ds2 has Francis as a middle name.

Grandfathers were Ronald Douglas and Joseph.

Mary and Gertrude. Great-Aunts Winifred (Win) and Beatrice (Beatie) One of my Great-Grandmothers was Lizzy. Not sure of the others.

kathleen & Elsie where my grandma's

not sure what great GMs names were

had a great auntie Muriel & Hazel

Mine- Amy and Ivy
DH- Jessie and Rebecca

I had great aunts Rhoda, Lily, Sylvia, Hilda.

And 5 weeks ago I had DC3, called Nancy Alice- we had not realised but turns out my paternal great- grandmother was called Nancy Alice, and DH's paternal great aunt was a Nancy too! Uncanny... And great to please both sides of the family at once!

Edith and Ruby

Margaret and Jean.

Eileen and Nancy

DH: Ethel and Sylvia

Me: Annie and Ivy May

one grandma was called Constance, but went by her middle name, Mary. the other one was called Una - and i've given my DD Una as a middle name as i think its lovely ;-)

DH's were called Bridget and dammit can't remember

My grandmothers are/were Barbara and Kathleen.

Ellen and Ellen.

Great aunts Phyllis, Maureen, Tilly (Matilda), Margaret, May, and Dorothy.

DH wanted Dorothy for my youngest DD but I said no. I'm sorry now, I love the name, and it turns out she absolutely adores The Wizard of Oz.

Somebody PLEASE call your DD Dorothy! It's a lovely name.

Marjorie and Eleanor, known as Nell/Nellie

I love the name Margaret

Thelma
Betty
Meg

we've got a dd Meg.

Dorothy, Freda, Gwendoline.

Kathleen and Jessie

Eileen Grace and Gladys Dorothy

My grandmas were called Emily and Lily. Emily was an incredible woman. I was very close to her and she used to talk to me about all sorts. She taught me that as a woman no one should tell me I cant do something and I should always have a go. She used to talk about the roles women played in the war and was very proud of her daughter for being in the land army. If I had had a girl I would have called her Emily. She also taught me to play cards, knit, crochet, make dumplings and buns! I loved her and miss her to this day and she has been gone 25 years. I could go on forever. Sorry.

Winnie

Mary (known as Molly) and Una
