What is your grandfather or great grandfather's name?

[Monix]

I love old names that have been forgotten about so I'm looking for some new ideas

My grandfathers/great grand fathers that I know of are John Joseph, Ken, and Charles. Too common I think.

What are your grandfathers / great grand father / great uncle's names?

Reginald, Peter, Colin, Brian and David.

Reginald, Peter, Colin, Brian and David.

Thank you very much!! I like Peter, I know my mom loves that name, but my first son's name is Iver so I'm not sure if a name with the same 'er' ending will sound funny.

Peter, Henry, keith, William, Irby

John and James. Pretty sure their dad's (my great grandfathers) may have also been John and James, as I know my dad (also James) is the III, and my uncle (John's son) is also John.

DH - David and Jim (James?)
