GTKY: Grandparents Names
LuLiLaEv

**shamlessly stolen from June17 because I love this idea and love "old" 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!"

Paternal: Gerald and Rachel
If we have another girl we will probably name her Rachel Ann (that was our 2nd name choice for this baby). Our first name for this LO isn't familial but her middle name is going to be Irene after my maternal great-grandmother.
DH
Maternal: Angus and Shirley
Paternal: Olive and I have no idea. I don't think he ever knew her though as he didn't know his Dad (died when he was a baby)
Paternal #2 (The one we call "Dad" and who pretty much raised DH): Denise and I'm not sure what her husband's name was, or if he was even around?
