[Theoldwoman]

Mine were:

Ada Frances
Millicent Margaret

Henrietta Agnes
Isabella (start pronounced eye-za not iz-a)
Mary
Janet

Marian (known as Cissie for some reason!)
Mabel.

Maud May and Millicent Eleanor (Nell), I don't know the other two

I feel really old now. The only great grand mother I have dates for was born in the1860s

Ada (provoking popular on here)
and
Harriet

Plus Emily and don't know on the other side

Mabel
Eileen
Dora
Amy

I genuinely don’t know any of their names.

May, Maude, unknown and Peter. I don’t know if the last was short for anything but she was definitely called Grandma Peter by my mum.

Cissie, Margaret, Louisa, Teresa.

Ruth Esme Ella Elizabeth

I have no idea but I LOVE this thread. Both of dd’s names have come up a lot, I would love to see the same for great grandads (need name inspiration for boy baby…!)

PestorPeston my great-grandfather was born in the 1830s before Queen Victoria came to the throne. My great-grandmother Was his second wife and much younger. He had 19 children. 😮

Not sure about the other one.

Elin Margaret

Annie
Gertrude

Flossie (maybe nickname for Florence?)
Annie Mary
Betsy May

Not sure of the other.

Alice
Lily
Lucy
And I think Mary but but she was known as Mimi, not sure if they would have spelled it that way but it was said MeeMee

Gladys
Elizabeth
Sarah
Margaret

Blanche
Ella Louise (actually went by a completely different nickname-style name)
Rachel and...
the other one was named after a fictional character, in a French story published 1795. It's a totally made-up name and yeah I think it could be outing to be specific. This factoid tells me that my GG-grandmother (Sarah,. d. 1907) was a very well-read woman.

No idea

Lucia
and no ides

Ada
Madeline
Dora
Mary
