My Granny is Myra (not keen lol) and my grandad was john.

My 3 year old is called NELL which is quite old, and she is so cute, and it really suits her.

My nan is called Kathleen but is known by her third name Hilda... Her full name is Kathleen Mabel Hilda Isobella Rose!!! Her mum (Dora) decided to name my Nan after every single one of her sisters lol... My other Gran is Margaret and my grampas were David and Austin xxx
 
My grand parents names were Derek Oscar, Gladis, Bessie and Alf Thomas, (sorry I only know the grandad's middle names)

They had a cat called Jasper , which did not suit him as it was a mans name! , but is also an older unusal name.

My friend called her son Leonard after a grandparent and now call him Leo which is lovely
 
Both my grandma's were called irene and my grandad's were called Robert and James. Xx
 
on my dad's side my nan was called lillian (or lil for short) and my granddad was james (but we all knew him as jim)
my mum side my nan was called johanna (jo for short) and my granddad was david (dave for short)
 
my nans are called barbara, lillian and grandad is called gordon and william. but i like elsie and connie as a old name
 
My Grandparent's are called: Pamela, Eugene, Florence & Thomas.

OH's are: Joyce, George, Iris & Peter.

If I had to choose i'd have Florence or George!

My dads side was harry, Mary and margaret, meg for short (grandpa married twice)! Mums side is James (jim) and I think her mum was florence or iris! Me and my sister are Alice and sally which are quite old!
