Inspired by the Grandad thread!

Mine were Elizabeth and Hilda. One is a great name that I'd use, the other not so much.

Ivy and Eileen (Ivy's my DD's middle name after my Nan)

Lily and Rose. My parents pondered with calling me lily-rose. Always seemed horrific but now I think it's rather sweet.

Sheila and Theresa. Both 91 this year!

Both called Pamela

Further to my Nan being called Ivy, her sisters were Lily, Rose, Violet and Iris, she always complained she was a weed amongst flowers! Her middle names were Beatrice Elizabeth. I think her whole name was beautiful.
