grandparents names pls?

My mum's side: Tessie and Wallace
Dad's side: Irene and Robert
O/h's mum's side: Sarah and William
O/h's dad's side: Mary and Jonny
 
My nanna and grandad were called Molly (Mary) and Albert.
If I have a girl next time she'll be called Molly Angelina after my and OH's nanna...

Doesn't really help you as you can't have two kiddies called Dolly and Molly...

Some lovely names coming up though and I'm surprised by how many I actually like! We are having a little boy and are trying thinking of a middle name. OH wants Arthur! Not quite so taken with this so need something we can both agree on...xxx
 
not my nan's name, but she used to go about in a group of 3 women - my nan was Flo, and the others were Josie and Sylvia. I'm not keen on either Josie or Sylvia, but used to call Sylvia Sylvie instead, which I always thought was nice!
 
my grandparents names were :

Robert and Alice emma-rose
George and Irene

i have one my nanny's name and i gave rose as a middle name to my eldest:)
my cousin had a little girl so named her georgia the female variation of george as my grandad died young
 
A friend of mine has a Daughter (born last September) called Pearl!! She beautiful!!

xx
 
oh wow so many names, il just add my lot too :p

Margaret, Mary Elizabeth, Seamus, Peter

OH's Molly & Samuel

Really love the names Grace or Elsie from the ones i read above tho :)
 
My Nans name was Betty, my Grandads name was John and my great-nan was called Ivy.
I'm having Betsy as the middle name for our little girl after my nan.
 
Females i have Christine, Sylvia, Elsie-Mae, Emma and Eileen

Males there are Michael, John, Fred, Richard and Leonard

We are having Harvey Leonard as middle names if not Harvey as a possible first name!! As it's my granddad's middle name and OH's granddad's name who he never met (as my OH was born in New Zealand and his granddad died when he was 3)
 
im so stuck really liked besty but I have herd 3 this wk so really put me off that, my next name was florrie but I have herd florance loads aswell and im worried ppl might call them florrie for short this making it popular.

Jemima is cute!! x x my grandma's were Hilda May (but everyone called her May-never ever Hilda and that's where I got Summer's middle name from) and Clara. My mums dad was polish and I can not for the life of me remember his real name but everyone called him George, and my dads dad was Stanley.
