    Red face 100 Year rule--what's your grandma's and great grandma's names?

    Hi Berries!

    I thought it would be fun (and inspiring) to see a list of vintage goodness with the pairings of first and middle names. What I know off the top of my head is:

    Dorothy Jane (gm, nee ~ 1915)
    Priscilla Clementine (gm, nee ~ 1900)
    Rose Amelia (ggm, nee late 1800s)
    Proud Mommy to Serena Genevieve (born 9.19.2012)
    Girls: Poppy, Georgiana, Claudia, Franny
    Boys:
    James, August, Weston, Dylan, Calvin, Harrison, Beck

    Katherine nn Kate (1905 ish)
    Mary May (1908 ish I think)

    My grandmothers name is Shirley but she'd be nowhere near 100 yet! She'd be 75 so maybe it'll make a comeback in 25 years!

    Grandmas:
    Harriet Helen
    Jacquelyn Faye (Though she's only ever gone by Jacque (pronounced like Jackie) as long as I've been alive.

    Great Grandmas:
    Iris (not sure on middle but her sister's name is Margaret and when they were in school my great grandma was called "Irish" instead of Iris which lead to her little sister being called "Dutch" and for some reason Dutch's nickname stuck. I've never heard her referred to as Margaret.)
    Florence Elizabeth

    Off the top of my head, I know my maternal grandmother was Anna Regina, and my paternal grandmother was Olga. I'll have to look up the others!
