I have a Thelma Emily (paternal) and a Cornelia (maternal). She had no middle name (I guess being the youngest of 14 children her parents ran out of ideas!) but most people knew her as Cora.

Funnily enough - my mother insisted that I not use any of my grandmothers names, nor any of her names if I had a girl. Mum's middle name is Petronella. There are some beautiful names in my mother's family - they migrated from Holland in the late 50s. But with being "foreign" in Australia in the early 60s, those beautiful and unusual names were a source of a lot of teasing so most of my aunts really dislike their names now.
