    Doris and Irmgard (German).

    My Grandma whose name is Irmgard gets called Emmy. Doris was Dot when she was alive. (And our parents' names aren't any more 'usable' in our opinions either - Pamela and Narelle. We went with my name as middle name to get a family tradition of our own going).

    I have a friend whose DD is called Anna. Her other DDs are Alexandra and Natasha.

    I think DP's grandma had a sister called Clara, it's the only family name I pulled out that I liked from his side.
