Inspired by the Grandad thread!

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

Jill and Shirley - my Gran (Jill) should of been Margaret or Gloria (can't remember now) but her father registered her as Jill with Margaret Gloria as middle names 😂 her mum was not happy!!

Lovely names. Our mums (kids' grandmothers) are Jill and Jane. Such post-war pragmatism.
