Robert (Bob) and Denis. (1 n)

All my siblings children (and mine) have a grandparent name for their middle names.

Richard - always known as Dick
Beverley - died when my mum was 12 so I never knew him. Brothers were Rufus and Carey
Offie - short for Theophilus, grandmother's husband. I called him Man.

Robert and Frank.

But just be mindful posters are probably aged 20’s to 60’s! So a lot of variety.

I don't know my other grandad's name - must ask Dad.
