edited August 2014 in November 2014 Moms

I've totally stolen this from the BNB but I loved the responses and wanted to see what everyone had to say here.

The OP pointed out that older names are becoming more popular but encouraged others to reach way back for great, great great or even great great great grandparent first names. What are yours?

Great Grandparents:

Ernest & Lydia Myrtle

Pearl (Gpa) & Della AND Georgie (2nd wife)

Bernice (unmarried)

Dale & Annie


Great Great Grandparents:

Algon & ...whatever his wife's name was O_o

Gillie & ...whatever her husband's name was O_o

  • Grandparents: Frederick, Mary Lucille (she went by Lucy), Andrew and Phyllis

    Great Grandparents: Fred & Wilma, Flora & Bernard, and.... ???? (embarrassed that I don't know- but in my defense I never met my great grandparents on my dad's side)

    If I had a girl I was going to do Lucille as a middle name. Considering Drew for a boy but wasn't particularly close to that side of the family. I love "old" names though!!

  • I LOVE the name Willard....so stately. ..it's why we're going with Willa for this one.

    My grandparents were Bernard & Louise, Florence & Carl

    And great grandparents I knew were Henrietta, Helene, Sylvia, and Lou. We also have a great uncle Saul which is pretty much the best name ever
    BABY GIRL, 11-11-14 

  • My Parents:

    Patricia Louise and John Monroe (which he's always hated as a middle name, but I think it's rad)

    My Grandparents:

    Carolyn and John F (literally, his middle name was F, because his parents couldn't decide between Frederick and Francis)
    Robert and Herminia Elizabeth (she hated her first name, went by H. Elizabeth and everyone called her Betty)

    My Greatgrandparents:

    I don't actually know! I know I have a Ralph and a Martha and a Violet, but when my parents have talked about them they were always referred to as "Grandma and Grampa Lastname".

    My Husband's Parents:

    Gisela and Timothy Scott

    DH's Grandparents:

    Arlen and Beverly
    Efrain and Abduella

    I have no idea about my husband's great grandparents! Time to genealogy.

  • I love this idea! Unfortunately i am not close to my father's side so don't know his parents names, which makes me sad. I will now go investigate this because my baby should know his roots.

    Mary Adel and James Robert

    Grandparents:
    Mary Lou and Richard Eugene

    Parents:

    LO's middle name will be James, named after my father in law and my great grandfather. Still not 100% on LO's first name.

    We're using Mary as the middle name after DH's two grandmothers (Mary and MaryAnn) and this little one's first name (Lila) comes from my great grandmother. Her name was Elsie, but everyone called her Lila :-) I love that we have great names to choose from!
