What are/were your Grandads called?

[StuckInTheMiddleWithJude]

Trying another way to get some name inspo 😊

My granddads were called Geoffrey James and Ian and great grandad Stanley.

Thank you

Oh and my OHs grandad is Archie

@GoJohnnyGoGoGoGo Ernie and Bert - absolutely love it 😊.

I think Albert has become my number one choice, I have a very soft spot for Ernest - was my first cabbage patch kid. And now still very loved by dd.

@ChipsAndKetchup that's so lovely

Mums side was Samual Richard
Dads side Stanley
Step dads dad is John

StuckInTheMiddleWithJude Grandad Arthur died a few years before I met my husband so unfortunately I never got to meet him and I really wish I had - by all accounts he was absolutely lovely. His wife, husband's Grandma, became my Grandma too from the day and hour she met me. I miss her but hopefully they're together again now :)

Thank you everyone for your replies.

Grandad names are firmly my favourite genre of name now - and it's so lovely to hear the nice stories and how many people honour their grandads by naming their ds's after them. There's something very special about a grandad 😊.

Joseph

@evilharpy that's so lovely. I think I'm too pregnant to hear such lovely things 😊 - just about holding it together over here!

Robert and Samuel. I like Samuel but not fussed on Robert.

@ReginaPhalange89 lovely. You don't seem to hear Bill or Billy as nicknames for William these days.

@smigglepiggle ohhh my grandad would have loved to hear that he was posh 😂😊

Thomas Henry and Peter. Great-great grandad was Irish immigrant called Fin

Ralph b. 1906

I like Ralph, but Keith is horrible.

Lot of double barrelling on my dads side!

The mention of Cabbage Patch Kids, though lovely, makes me think of Garbage Pail Kids!

Both DGMs married twice after being widowed.

Thomas Alexander Henry Francis would be a great name! A bit on the long side though
