Grandparent Sibsets

chibride4

Because I am bored and think the results will be interesting, what are/were the names of your grandparents and their siblings? "Old people" names seem to be all the rage, so maybe some of you will get an idea or two.

Mine:
1. Beatrice with the nn Buddie, Sylvia, Annette with the nn Honey, Hunce and Irwin
2. Jack and Jennette
3. Audrey, Robert and Gene
4. David, Sam and Zelda

I think it's safe to say that a few of these won't be making a comeback anytime soon!
