What were your grandmothers called?

[wildpoppy]

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

Rosa and Nellie, so miss both of them.

Grandmothers: Shirley and Joan

Great Grandmothers: Hannah and Sarah

Great Aunts: Dorothy, Bette, Doreen, Patricia and Margaret.

GM - Elizabeth Mary
GM - Elizabeth (lilly for short)
GGM - Alice-Maud (what I was nearly called but GM said GGM hated her name, no idea why!)
GGM - Mary

GMil - Elizabeth Reida
GMil - Elizabeth Joan

Me and DM also have a Elizabeth in our name so if I ever have a DD she will be Elizabeth too (Betty for short)

Not much inspiration in our families . All the men seemed to have been called Thomas or David too. My family tree looks very uninspiring when written down!

Sylvia and Anne

Petty Prudence if your DD ever complains about her family name you can point out it was that or Maud.

In our case we had Margaret, Rose and Bernadette! I hope no one called Bernadette feels hurt by this but err no. Just no.

Margaret and Williamina

Great grandma was Barbara
Great Aunt is Christian

Violet, Margaret, Nelly, Ida, Jean

Joyce, Mary, Margaret and May

My mums mum was Ivy, She died when mum was 6 months old. So she was brought up by her fathers three spinster sisters, Grace, Elsie and Adelaide, all born around 1900.
