If you called your child after your grandparents, what would they be?

[mauvish]

Girl - Harriet Maud (I would have been fine with Harriet, but not Maud!)
Boy - Alfred John

My DGD would be Penelope Susan (sounds OK, I think); my DGS would be Simon Sean (not so keen!)

Hannah, Marina
John, James

Lilian Florence
Ernest Frederick

Frederick George
Elizabeth Vera

I did/was going to use 3 out of the 4.

Edward, Joseph (my son's name), or Mary & Molly, all fine. I used Joseph as it was my uncles names who'd passed away, he was my Godfather & my son was born the night before his birthday & whisked away to Special care as he was a tiny preemie so we got to name him on my uncles birthday & it felt right 😁

👌

Edith, Kathleen and Jack

Vera
Arthur

Annie, Ellen, Patrick, Frederick

Harry, Betty, Jack. We did use Elizabeth which was probably my Grandma's real name.

Maternal side-

G- Elizabeth Sara
B- John

I don’t know about the paternal side.

Eve Margaret/William James

Harry (unsure of middle name)/Elizabeth Grace Alexandra

Love all of those to be fair 💕

Robert x 2
Mary or Margaret

Harriet Maud is lovely.

Mine would be Catherine Elizabeth and William Arthur.
Too Royal Family.

Harry Leonard
Joyce Joan

I like Harry but not Leonard. Joyce and Joan would be ok in the middle but we don’t do honouring names.

Sheila Martha, Sarah (known as Sadie), Patrick, John (known as Jack)

Girl: Mamie /Mary
Boy: Thomas /John

I actually like all these options for a child today. Unfortunately, when we had DS one of the boy's names had already been used for a 1st cousin and the other just didn't work with my married surname....

Robert, Randolph, Emily and Amy

Lizzie & Arthur
Agnes & George

Elsie Laura and Albert John. I think both sound great

Edna Mavis. I think I'd have won the old lady name trend.

Albert Leslie.

Catherine Lona
Rudolph John

Don't let Kate hear you say that 🤐

Shirley Daphne (Not keen)
Benjamin Richard (Better, but don't love it)

Violet Elizabeth

Peter Edward

Alma and Fred
