Um, I think in no particular order for great grandparents we have an Ida, Ingrid, Gustav, Johanna, Lucille, Madeline (I'm actually using this as my LO's middle name) and Leon. Don't know any others off the top of my head (and tbh most of those are my relatives as my GGrandmother is a geneaology hobbyist).

Grandparents were Arlene, John, Barbara, Glen, Marie, Erich and don't know one of OH's sets.
