Not sure of my Great Grandmothers names, but my Grandma's names were Mildred (everyone called her Dolly-her father hated the name and just called her Dolly from day one and it stuck) and Dorothy...can't imagine ever naming my children after my favorite Grandma: Mildred Olga (poor lady), but i could consider Dolly as a middle name I suppose...
My grandmas names were Myrtle Louise and Marcella Jane. My great grandmas names that I am aware of are Agnes and Etta. I would love to use the name Etta some day. I am completely in love with it!
I love the noticable region and culture differences in this topic. It's one of the things I love most doing genealogy.
My grandmas were/are Nettie and Elaine. Great-grandmas were Ada Lucille, Mona and Geraldine. One grandma was adopted; her birth name was Bobby Jo. Lucky her for that change...
I have a Doris, Elsie, Rose, I have recently been doing my family tree other relatives had: Ada, Lucy, Lydia,Violet, Lilly, Alice, Ena, Robina, Blodwen, Sybil, Rhoda, there were also alot of Hannahs and Elizabeths
Etta is like E for egg ... Etta james the singer think of her....
going to name this baby after my nannys father so my great grandad his name was Gordon but everyone called him Sonny .... so this baby will be Sonny and my eldest is named after my great nanny
My grandmother was called Emma (went by the name 'Dolly' - she was a preemie born weighing 2lbs in 1913! Amazing she survived really. She was tiny, thus the nickname) and my other grandmother was Marguerite (went by the nickname 'Molly').
Great grandmothers were: Mae, Mary, Olive and Doreen
