What were your great-grandparents’ names?
Are you lucky enough to know the names of your great-grandparents?
I know most of them: Garrett and Elizabeth/Lizzie, Patrick and Catherine, William and Margaret, and something and Eugenia.
They were born in Ireland and Austria and Scotland and right here in the U.S.A., and their names make a combination of classic standards and intriguing vintage names. Plus at least one great-grandmother had an intriguing maiden name that might work as a middle: Early. Love it.
What were your great-grandparents’ names? Do you know anything about their names or the lives of those more distant ancestors? Where did they come from and what did they do? Would you name a child after them?
Here, some notable names of famous people’s fathers.
