What was your Grandmother's name?

**Glamourcide** · October 24th, 2010, 05:22 PM

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)

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

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

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.

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

**Winter** · October 24th, 2010, 06:00 PM

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...

DH's dad's mum was Thelma and he thinks his mum's mum was Ellen.
