Hmm. If it's not a poll, I can't put it in ticky-box...

Just out of curiousity (inspired by a completely different thread about someone's new cat):
What were your grandparents' first names?

I'll start:
In alphabetical order:
Ava, Byron, Harriette, Robert.

Tom and Vera on my mother's side, Michael and Marion (always known as May) on my mother's.

Both Tom and Michael had sons called Tom and Michael (my dad).

Not that I want children, but given that my father's name is Michael and my partner's father's name is Michael.... ;)

DoBs for all of my grandparents would've been somewhere between about 1908 and 1915, as far as I can recall - all dead now.

Mine too. )= Most of mine were born just barely post-War, I think, although siblings will have been born earlier. I need to look up dates for them.

Ann, George, Louis, Pricilla (but was called Jean as she and HER mother had the same name)

D'you know, I never ever once noticed that? I bet my grandma noticed, though. (;
