Re: cool grandma names (or great grandma names)
My Grandfathers were Jack and Brontis (but he went by Ben... Not a good name either!)
I love old names and searched and searched when I was pregnant the 1st time.. But they are all bad..except for a few but those are being used currently by cousins. Oh well!
Welcome to the world Finley Michael - born 2/13/2010
Baby Sister is coming soon!
Paternal Gmom- Madeline (which I love and want to use someday)
Maternal Gmom- Marie with no middle name (how generic?!)
Maternal great gmom- Lena (
)
Maternal great gmom- Alice (I like that one too)
Grandmas- Sharon and Phyllis (went by Bunny cuz she hated Phyllis)
Grandpas- Walter and Edward
Great-Grandparents- Lena and Graham
My Profile
my mom's parents: Lavelda (she hated it and went by joanne) and John
Dad's parents: Nicholas and Mariam
Erics mom's parents: Virgina and Paul ( Rowan's middle name)
Eric's dads: Helen and Harold
You can still use Jean...that's my middle name and I like it!
My grandparents were Charles and Nina...but it wasn't pronounced nee-na, it was pronounced nine-a. And one of my aunts was named after her: Nynette, pronounced nine-ette.
And then my other grandparents are Charles and Jean, which is where my middle name comes from.
J's grandparents are Carol and Bob and Bob and Barb. His great-grandfather was named Edgar, which is where he gets his middle name. If we have kids, we're definitely keeping Edgar in the family. I love it!
Paternal Gparents - Bonnie and Edsel (still living). My gma always called my gpa "Bud"...espeically when he was being silly/annoying
Maternal Gparents - Henry and Grace. our girl name (if we ever have one!) is Elizabeth Grace....Elizabeth is my middle.
Both my gmas have/had old fashioned names: Frances and Winnifred.
I love old-school names!
On my side I have an Alice, Lawrence, Raymond and Irene (Great grandparents were Ann, Joseph, Violet and Peter...I'm not sure of the others off of the top of my head)
H's g-parents have passed, but they were Alice, Simon, Nell and Charles
Since we both have Grandmothers named Alice, we're certain any future daughter would have that name as well.
Bella's Bistro - My Dairy Free Food Blog
Both DH and I had Grandfathers named Glenn and both passed away the first year we were married, so I'm fairly certain a future son could get the middle name of Glenn.
My other grandfather is Merwyn, and DH's other g-pa is Jack.
Grandmothers - Colleen for DH, I have no idea on the other g-ma, she passed away when he was little.
My grandmothers are Britt and Anne, and my step-grandmother is Merlene.
