grandparents names pls?

[NicciLove]

My grandparents names are Delia / Alan

My great nan's name is Florence and her twin was called Sadie
(which was our chosen girls name but were having a boy so were still deciding on that one!)

I love the old fashioned names and they seem to be really trendy at the mo but my OH is not convinced

Mine were Florence and Jack (we're having Florence somewhere if we have a girl as she only died a couple of months ago and I really wanted her to meet LO ) and Joan (although everyone calls her Syb, short for Sybil) and Lawrence (everyone called him Lol - he would have LOVED that that meant laugh out loud these days!!)
