What were your grandmothers called?

[wildpoppy]

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

Muriel and Alice.

Iris and Kathleen

Alice and Erica

Catherine Mary and Gertrude Mary; my dd is Catherine (not my biological child) and I only found out that my grandmother (who died when my father was 5, in 1933) was called Catherine once we'd chosen dd's name (she was always referred to as Mary); on DP's side there has been a Catherine in every generation since the 1770s...

My mum's mum Ruby. My dad's mum Isabella.

Sarah and Esther.

Both my grandmothers had died before was born. One was Dorothy and the other Nellie - but not sure what it was short for. My mum had an Aunt Tamar (also dead by the time I came along) which I always thought was a nice name - although they called her Nanna!

Oops before I was born!
