Grandparents' names
What are your grandparents' names?
I heard that the most popular names cycle every 2-3 generations, so i would be interested in seeing if our grandparents names are among those currently seeing revival. Yup, I know we dwellars span a few generations and continents, but humor me, I love names. Mine (all British) Nancy Philip Florence (Flo) Norman Of those, I'd say only Nancy has been used with any popularity recently and that here in the US -it seems to be one of those names popular in all generations. Maybe except the current brood. |
Irene
Robert Florence Virginia (she went by Virginia) Myron |
William, Florence, Dean and Effie Sue.

wow, yes, that's fantastic. my grandma Flo was the one who died a few years ago. i think I posted the eulogy i wrote that they refused to read at the funeral even though I couldn't be there.....
she was a total trooper and loved to travel, especially to the USA. she left us a small amount of money for fun, so we used it to pay for a helicopter tour over the grand canyon two years ago. :) she often painted her house (inside) and varnished her piano, but never dusted first, so there were always interesting textures to be found :) She was widowed when my dad was young so she worked full-time and learned to be very practical |
Isabel (#4 today), Arthur, Margaret, Joseph
|
(I almost had an Idk too -I had to look up her husband's name (Norman), I couldn't remember it off the top off my head -he was never in my life and she was the paternal -so once-a-month- grandma.)
|
Joseph is pretty popular currently isn't it? I know quite a few Margarets (Maggies) too, but I suspect that's a pretty steadfast one here in the US?
|
I don't know my great-grandparents' names. For one side I have a geneology, so I could look it up, but I don't think I have it for my mom's side.
I never met my grandmother Flo, because she died in a buggy accident about . . . 35 years before I was born. |
just regular grandparents will do
|
was just thinking about it
