Paternal gm - Ada
materal gm - Bridget
Great aunts - Elsie, Marion, Elizabeth, Nora, Betty....can't remember the others!
Dh's were: Vera and Margaret.

my grandmothers were both called Katherine

Helen and Dorothy. Great names IMO

Dorothy May and Gladys Annie but she was always known as Kate.

Grandmothers were Sarah nn Sally and Alice.
Ggm Harriet, Dinah, Emily, Elsie.

Me - Cecelia (nn sissy) and Grace (known by middle name Margaret)

Dp - Lily and Marion

Gwynneth and Lilian. My great aunt is Enid. I'd love to use any of them :)

Stella and Kathleen.

DD2 is named Stella - I've always love the name.

Oh if we are doing great aunts too, I have loads of them.

One of my Grandmothers was the second youngest of ten girls!! All named after flowers -

Rose
Daisy
Violet
Marigold
Lily
Petunia
Dahlia
Poppy
Iris
Jasmine

DP's grandmother's are called Mary and Katherine.

Doris and Euphemia - doubt either of those will be catching on any time soon!

Edith Elaine, known as Elaine and Joyce.

I would love to know what my Great GMs name was, on my dads side, because she would have been Bangladeshi and I have always been curious. All my dads siblings have Bangladeshi names on their BCs and then only use their English names - I didn't even know my father had a 'proper' name until I researched his family tree!

Mine were called Jeanette and Suzanne.

Eliza and Mary.

Edith and Gladys!
and my Grandads were called William George and George William showing the huge array of popular boys names that generation

Joan and Grace.

My DSis & I got a name each for our middle names.

Margot and Gwenerys

I now feel bad I stopped the "Sophies" line with DD
