What were/are your Grandmothers called?

[littlecharmer2016]

Looking for old fashioned, traditional girly girl names! Please help!

Jean and er...Jean.

One was a step gran though, Katherine was my grandad's first wife.

Elizabeth and Jane

Lucy and Ethna

Margaret known as Peggy
Betty

Margaret known as Peggy
Glenys

Norah Lydia Helena Constance Mary Sarah

May & Margaret

Lilias (Lily) and Gertrude Doris.
Great Aunts: Dora, Doll, Jess, Helen

Beatrice and Eileen

Helen and Patricia. Dh' were called Eunice and Ada.

Gunvor and Annie

Patricia Ann and Ella

Audrey, Jane and Norah

Catherine & Elizabeth! Pretty timeless really :)

Ethel May

Ellen Josephine

Mine: Helen (always Nell) and Deborah

DH's: Constance and Cynthia (for some reason known as Daphne)

Emma and Emilia

Mine: Doreen and Ruby.
DH's: Jane and Violet.

My daughter has inherited both a first and middle name from that list... I wasn't brave enough to go for Doreen (though Dora was briefly considered) as it felt much more dated than classic.

Patricia and Moira (nn Molly)

Elizabeth and Robina.

I suspect Robina is not a name likely to make a comeback! It's in the same vein as other slightly odd feminisations of male names: my mother once knew a very elderly lady from the Western Isles called Donaldina!

DH's grandmothers were called Joan and Ida. Again, I'm not sure Ida is one we are likely to hear much of in the future!

Kathleen and Barbara (great grannies were Dorothy & Elizabeth)

Evelyn and Margaret

Nora (which i love) and Doris.

Two other relatives are heather and margaret (maggie - aww!)

But we're having a second boy so i dont get to use Nora or Mags!

Nancy and Faith

Faith is a brilliant name
