    What are your grandparents' names?

    Sorry if this thread has been done before (I'm sure it almost certainly has!), but I didn't come across any similar in my search. ANYWAY, the title says it all, what are your grandparents' names? Old people names have become so popular for babies these days and lots of people like to include their grandparents' names as part of their baby's name. I've included my great grandparents just so I could list as many names as possible!

    Grandparents:

    Audrey Irene
    Margaret Mary
    Antonius Wilhelm
    Roy (no middle name)

    Great Grandparents:

    Anna (no middle name)
    Dorothea May
    Esther Elizabeth
    Margaret Mary (yes, she's the mother of the other Margaret Mary!)
    Reinhold Friedrich
    Stanley William
    Thomas Leigh
    William (I don't know his middle name)

    Did you/will you include any of your grandparents' names in your children's names? I'd like to include Audrey in my future daughter's name (as either first or middle).

    I believe that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

    Jack
    Jean


    Great-Grandparents:

    Jessie
    Laura
    Herbert
    David
    Cecil
    Tom
    Florence

    I don't know all the middle names as I don't have a family tree on hand, as for incorporating their names I like the idea of using Helen, Florence and Jack.
