What are your (and SO's) grandmas' names?

erinlovesdavid

We want to stray as far as possible from anything trendy, so I thought this  might stir up some ideas.  Finding a girl name we can both agree on is so hard!  I know we have time, but at this rate, I feel like it will never happen.  TIA!

I doubt I am going to bring much inspiration!  My grandmothers were Nancy May and Hilda Louise then I had two fabulous great aunts Irene (Rene) and Edna.

Good luck

My grandma's names are Willa Dean and Alma (ugh it's terrible that I don't know my dad's mom's middle name). My great grandma's name was Verlie- which is DD #2's MN, and Jeanne was DH's grandma's name so that is DD #1's MN.
