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!)

Girl - Roberta Ella
Boy - Colin William

Paternal
Alice Maud Mary
Robert John

Maternal
Dorcus Ellen
Philip John

Irene and William is one set
Judith and Lesley the other.

I quite like Irene and william, not so keen on the other two names

Caroline and Thomas or David and Miriam.

All fine with me. In fact the DS's have their great grandfathers names as middle names

Ivan & Roma

Doreen Barbara
Vincent Roy

Laura, Fred,
Gertrude, Stanley.

Anne or Sheila
Neville or William

none of my kids or the impending one will have these names

Oops, I see I already answered this in August 😄

@Mummyme87 , Neville and Sheila sound great as a new trend in baby names

My GPS: Jack,Frances, George,Eileen
DH's: Sarah , Richard,Marie and John

Clara and William

James and Catherine

Both sets of grandparents where George and Betty.

One gran was Elizabeth and the other Bridget but both were called Betty. I also had great uncle and Aunt aclled George and Betty.

Harry, Jean, Bernard, Aileen.

Same as he is now! Oddly only one grandfather was baptised that name, the other one was just called it for some unknown reason (I only learned this when clearing out mums house and found his birth certificate - grandma has started calling him this when she was very old and suffering from dementia and I assumed she was just confused).

Doreen/Frances
Ronald/Headly (although he went by Peter).

DH's include Edwin which is on our list!

Elsie and Ruth

Any boys would have been James or John

In my family, myself and my siblings all have middle names of the first names of close relatives, as do all our children! My grandchildren’s middle names are also family names - my granddaughters middle name is the same as her aunts middle name, which is the same as my grandmothers first name. It’s a great thing to do to keep family names.

Francis Barbara Jane
Derek Kenneth

Wilfred or Harold, Muriel or Evangeline

Doris, Fred, James and Winifred.

Sarah x 2
Thomas Hugh

Alice Maud Mary
William Ernest

Dorcas Ellen
Philip John

I love the name Ruby.
