My mom and my grandma (her mom) share the name Dorothy. I also had a great aunt on my mom's dad's side named Dorothy lol. My mom actually would kill me if I used the name but it's fair game with out her knowledge. Grandma on my dads side is Jaqueline. Theres Minnie and Orpah on her side. I know lol. My mom's grandma was Jane but went by Mary I believe. It's confusing honestly and she passed when my mom was still young. Trying to remember the other. Aunts were Patricia and Michele. Aunts on the other Linda and Arlene. My husband has aunts Dahlia, Darlene, and Denise (goes by patty). His mom was Devorah. She was born in Germany and her moms name was Gisela (geese-la). HTH! Congrats on the news!
My grandmothers are Mary Ellen & Vera, Mom - Mary, Great Grandmothers - Lola & Elsie.....my husbands Grabdmothers are Mary & JoEllen, Mom- Cynthia, Great Grandmother is Jane
We named our dd Mary Ellen after our grandmothers, my mom, and me. Congrats on your baby girl and good luck with the name search.
