What are your grandfathers names?

[nomoreminibreaks]

Sorry if this has been done to death but I'm due to give birth to DS2 in 6 weeks and I still haven't fallen in love with a name. DS is Henry so I thought I might find inspiration from this.

Mine are:

John (DS' middle name) and
Arthur (I like this and think it goes but DH isn't keen)

Harry and Edward

Both long gone but thanks for reminding me of Patrick & Charles :)

I am 40 so will give GF's and DF

James Herbert
Charles George

DF. Eric Mervyn John. (John after his fathers Irish father, Eric after his mothers brother, Mervyn from God knows where.)

Alfie and Russell.

aww both gone but were Richard & les

Jóhann and Magnús (biological)
Kristján and Þórður (adoptive)

Should add: Jóhann known as Jón
Kristján known as Kris

Oliver (paternal) and Ezekiel (maternal). DF is James, known as Jim. Grandad Oliver had a twin brother called Guy. My uncles are called Norman, Cecil (yes, seriously) Peter, George and Paul. Apparently Cecil was named after a grandfather, so that May have been Oliver and Guy's father.

Richard and Philip

Mine: Edward (Ted) & Douglas

DH: both called John

My GFathers and their brothers were Alan, Tomas, William and Stephen.

Paternal grandfather was Howard, had a brother named Charles, called Charlie.

Maternal grandfather was Frederick, always called Fred. He was one of my favorite people ever. His brother was named Brooks.

DH's were Ellsworth (called Al) and Otthmar.

Maternal GF; Orville Elbert (Elbert was his middle name)
Paternal GF: John Hoskins (Hoskins was his middle name)

I have always loved my late father's first & middle names; Emerson James.

DH's GFs were Horace and Charles.

Ronald and John.

James and Brian.

DHs were Ronald (Ronnie) and Sidney

If I have a DS in the future I plan to use 3 of the 4 for his name but leave off Brian as he was a disgusting excuse and a waste of skin ahem...anyway

Congrats on the impending birth

Robert and Sutherland

Clifford and
John victor

Nikolay and Boris

nothing that hasn't been said (other than Ignatius) but be careful

when trying to name our ds we went through my dads side of their family only to find there is a history of repeating names through the generations so not a lot to choose from

In my cousins generation one girl has my first name and one has my middle name - I guess we all like to play it safe

ds got my dads name in his, the other ds got dh middle name

George and Alfie
Dh's are John and James

Mine are Clifford and John victor

Mine on my dads side is Freeman
On my mums side Barrister
My brothers boy has Barrister as his middle name.

Charles and Gordon.

Albert and John, not very helpful.
