    Lilian Agnes and Ruth (Can't believe I don't know her middle name! lol) But she hated Ruth all her life, so when her mother died she finally changed it officially to Sarah. We all know her as Annie (I couldn't say granny when I was little )

    Ooh what a cool thread - I love old-fashioned names!

    Maternal grandmother: Sylvia Madeline
    Paternal: Dina (Greek)
    Maternal great-grandmothers: Beatrice (Betty) and Elizabeth
    Paternal great-grandmothers: Katherine and Toula
    Great aunts (Maternal): Phyllis Sheila, Nancy Millicent, Joyce Eleanor, Victorine

    If we have a girl we'll use Sylvia (or Sylvie) as a middle name.
