What are your parents' names?

[MooseBreath]

Names often skip a generation, so I was wondering what everyone's parents names are. It could be a vague look into the future...

Mine are Dan and Wendy
DH's are Nick and Michele

[quote lunarlife]@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I have dc with a name in your group and so does sibling.

I guess suggesting that names come in cycles.[/quote]
Yes! @lunarlife, this was my list:

Ann, John, Margaret, Lisbeth, Lizzie, Annie, Effie (short for Euphemia), Nichol, Sylvia, Colin, Finlay, Andrew, Willie, Martin, Graham, Audrey, Ted, Jessie, Winnie, David, Alec, Charles, Christine, Grant, Flora, Alistair, Horace, Sid, Violet, Lilian, Amy, Albert, Ronald, Dennis, Joan, Kath, Tony.

I'm guessing the ones that are fairly common nowadays are Finlay, Audrey, David, Flora, Violet, Lilian, Amy, Albert. Just possibly Sid. Quite a few little boys called Ronnie, I suppose.

Lisbeth and Lizzie both had Elizabeth on their birth certificates. Kath was Katherine. Willie was William. Alec was Alexander. Those are all probably still in the top 100 - top 200 anyway.

Arthur and Clive
Valerie and Ivy

Judith and Richard

Tessa and Trev

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g loads of those names are experiencing a resurgence!

I know a little John, Margaret, Lizzie, Effie, Sylvia, Finlay, Audrey, Ted, Jessie, Winnie, Alec, Charles, Flora, Sid, Violet, Albert, and Joan!!

Avril and Charalambous
In laws
Eileen and Alex
My name and dh name appear a few times on here but then we are old enough to be Pil

@Drunkenmonkey

To the people saying the mums are called Nicola, stop it you're making me feel old. Nicola was a 70's/80's name!

I was born in the 90s, so parents of my generation were born in the 60s & 70s. To be fair there were a couple of Nicoles in my year at school as well

All potentially very outing. I'll give the names of the parents of two different friends instead, but same generation:

Thalia and Roger
Steve and Liz

John and Shirley.

Jane and Tony

Audrey and Walter

Ivy and William

Reginald and Winifred. I don't think that's going to help you.

Charles and Martha

@Finewine76

Beverley and Keith

This is my favourite pairing. Keith would have been captain of the school football team and Bev would have had a 70s perm.

John and Audrey

Neville and Audrey

Bill and Lois.
I have seen my name mentioned, but to be fair I have kids in their 30s so am probably a similar age to some posters' parents.

Muriel, Terence, David, Joyce

Elizabeth and David

@highheelsandwitcheshats I also know a woman whose parents are Chris and Chris (Christine and Christopher) and then she herself went on to marry a guy called Chris 😂

My parents are Paulina and James (Jim)

Bob and Christine

Margaret and Bob

Mine were Mum and Dad. I think that they were quite common names in those days, most of my friend's parents seemed to have similar names.

@Lillylola

Elias Iris

I love both these names

Margaret and Robert
DH's James and Janice
