What are/were your Grandmothers called?

[MrsFoxPlus4]

Following from the grandad thread because it’s fascinating.

I had a granny Jessie.
Nana Elizabeth & Nancy.
Great gran Cecilia & Bessie but I can’t temebe Bessie’s full name.

Edith and Muriel

Violet Amelia and Angela.

It’s nice to see Stella here. That’s my daughters name.

My mum had a great aunt Bunty who’s real name was Beulah

Mary, but went by her middle name Christina, and Mary Susan. Original

Violet May and Rose Olivia

Winifred
Mabel
and Eveline

I don't know their mother's names. Possibly Mabel's mother was Hannah.

Anne and Nancy.

My dh’s granny is Olga which might be a bit beyond the retro name revival.

Agnes Lydia & Elizabeth Mary.

Margaret and Clara

Constance and Judith (Judy). Definitely using Judith as a MN if I have a girl.

Weirdly my parents both had grandmothers nicknamed Lal - their official names were Alice and Katherine.

Annemie (Annemarie)
and
Ria (Maria)

Daisy and Pearl

Dulcie and Francine.

Both born in the 1930s. Australia and New Zealand, respectively.

The names of some of my grandmothers and great grandmothers, Ethel, Mary Jane, Lilian, May, Hannah, Sarah, Elizabeth, Louisa.

We have Eileen, Margaret (known as Peggy) Joan and Marian. All born between the two wars.

*Some great great + grandmothers names in there too, we know a lot more about certain sides of the family than others. My grandfather didn't know his grandparents christian names for example.
