What was your Grandmother's name?

[Trillian]

Mine were Winifred (Winnie) and Ruth - I always loved Ruthie as a girls name, but DH didn't really like it. His grandmother's names were Eunice and Mary. My Nan's sisters were Anges (Aggie - loved that as a name) and Dorothy (Dotty).

Dorothy and Jean. My GG was Bertha! Won't be using that... (although she was a magnificent lady and generally known as Birdie).

[MrsT]

My grandmothers were Beryl Madelaine Susannah and Annie Isabel. If I have a DD she is going to be called Madelaine Isobel.

[Glamourcide]

Dorothy (Dot) on mum's side, and Myrtle on Dad's side. My nanna's mother was obviously very fond of flower names, my nanna's middle names are Ivy Rose, and all her sisters had flower names (there were 3 or 4 girls, I think... I know Nanna was one of 7! There's a Daisy, I can't remember my other great aunts' names)

[retrogal]

Mine were

Florence (mum's mother)
Dorothy (dad's mother)

DD has got my nana Flo's name as one of her middle names

[Artechim]

My grandmother was Elaine and her mother was called Hazel. My DD has Hazel as a middle name as my g.grandmother was very special to me.

One of DH's grandmothers was Eileen and the other is Phylis.

[Freya]

Lucy on my mothers side and Leontine on my fathers side. If we ever have a daughter she will have Leontine as a mn.

On the inlaw side; one grandmother is Audrey and one is Wendy (her real first name is Maxine).

[Traveller]

Lily and Betty (Elizabeth)

I also had great aunts Margaret, Marie and Evelyn

[*Efjay*]

Joyce on mums side & Gwladys (Gladis -welsh) on Dads side.

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Merle (1940s) - Gma
Muriel (1910s) - G Gma
Gwenyth was known as Gwen (1920s) - G Nanna

Joan, Nancy, Leticia (Lettie) are from DHs side.

[kimmi]

Joyce and Alice for my Grandmothers and Dorothy and Mary for my great grandmothers.

I do love Evelyn too

[Snacks]

Hazel and Florence (but she went by Marjory). My great aunt is also Florence but she goes by Muriel.

[Winter]

I have a friend who named her daughter Evelyn & I know you can't 'bags' a name & I do have a claim on it being my Nanna's but....I don't think I would feel right. But I'm loving all the others!! I do love Gwyneth / Gwenyth but DH has a great aunt who is still alive & kicking and she's somewhat of a battleaxe...
