Grandparent's Names

[jessicalucy]

Seeing as a lot of people on here seem to like old-fashioned names, I thought it would be interesting to share our grandparent's names, and possibly our great-grandparent's names! Here's mine...

Mary Angelina
Frank (Nunzio, changed his name)

Louise
Robert

Mary
John Joseph (Giovanni)

Isabella
Marino

I only know the greats on my mother's side. Robert & Louise are my dad's parents & I've never met any of his family so they're more in the unusable name category than the family name category for me!

Wilford and Franceszka (went by Frances)

* Interestingly, it was a tradition for a while to name your first son Joseph or John and name one of your younger sons Aloysius. I thought this was a pretty cool name. My grandma said they called him Al. I think Aloy would have been a cooler nickname.
