GTKY: Grandparents Names

This was started in my Jan14 fb group and it was cool to see all the names. It may be more beneficial here too because a lot of the classic names are coming back so those of us who still have nameless babies could benefit! So what are your paternal/maternal grandparents names? Feel free to share your spouses as well!

Here We Go Again!!
Me:
Maternal- James Omer and Betty Louise
Paternal- George Benjamin and Elizabeth (nn Betty) no middle, but after marriage used her maiden name as her middle
DH:
Maternal- John and Barabra
Paternal- DH doesn't see this side and hasn't since he was four, but I think it's Beth and John.
Benjamin is the current front runner for us boy wise. If it's a girl, I would love Elizabeth, but DH isn't really on board. Either way the middle name with be my Paternal G-ma's maiden name.
Maternal: VeNeta Lee and Max Ira
Paternal: Sharon Velma (? I think) and Robert George (pretty sure)
DH:
Maternal:Charles (DH's middle name and our boy name if we end up with a boy one day) and... I don't know his maternal grandmother's name. She died when he was less than a year old.
Paternal: Robert and ... Also don't know his paternal grandmother's name. She also died when he was rather young.
maternal- Sandra and Thomas
paternal- Cecilia and Ralph
DH:
maternal: Billie (not sure if that's short for something) and Thurman (DH wanted to name this baby after him if it was a boy... a little too unique for me)
parernal: no clue, they both passed away when DH was a kid.
John Ellis and Clare
Clifford and Patricia Rose- went by Cliff and Pat
DH
Frederick and Ada
Harold and Katherine
i included the middles that I know. I've thought about Ellis as a middle name, but I don't think it's strong in the running.
