Cal - mum's side

My Nanna - Kathleen Alice
My mum - Katherine Anne so we have Nanna Kath & Great Nanna Kath

Grandma - Gladys Ivy (eeekk)

On DH's side there is a Lorna & don't know the other one.

Mum's mum was named Emily by her birth mum, but her adopted mother named her Shirley Margaret. I also have a great aunt June.
Dad's mum is Gladys Irene, but everyone calls her Irene. I also have great-grandmothers Violet, Adelaide and Alma Martha.
DH's are Valmai, Edith and Beatrice (great grandmother).

Paternal grandma is Charlotte Merle, paternal great grandmothers were Elizabeth and Enid.
Maternal grandma is Jean (just realised I don't know her middle name, oops). Maternal great grandmothers were Evelyn and Beatrice.

DH's grandmothers were Elizabeth and Alice.

Other names in my family from those generations are Doris, Gladys, Eunice, Loris, Gwyneth and Kaye.

Mum's mum is Gertrude
Dad's mum is Ida Ellen (and goes by the name Ellen)

DH's mum's mum was Violet and went by Betty
DH's dad's mum was Helen

Mine were Joan & Esther

Rosalia (Mum's side)
Teresa (Dad's side)

and DH's

Elizabeth (Mum's side)

and I cannot for the life of me remember his Nanna's name... lol I'll come back if I remember it.

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.
