Amelia is another name I just love. Alot of the older names from our grandparents generation were so elegant and beautiful but I hardly hear people naming their children those names. I would have named a daughter Amelia, very pretty!
Thanks for sharing!

Lillian Iris - Mom's mom; Doris - Dad's mom
Wolfgang - Mom's mom; James - Dad's dad
I really love the name Olive! I also really love the name Lillian... not that I plan on having any children, but if I were to ever have a girl, I'd name her Lillian after my grandmother and call her Lily for short.

Thank you! I love hearing unique names. I'm sorry you didn't get to meet your paternal grandparents - I wish I had met mine.

Oohh very simple but pretty names. I like Jane and Elma. I've never heard the name Stig, very different.
Thank you for sharing!

I love the names Lillian and Helen. My sweet dogs name is Lilly because I was going to name my daughter that (if I ever had one) but I can no longer have children so she gets the honor.
Great strong names on both sides! Thanks for sharing!

One of my grandmother's name is Lillie, my other grandmother's name is Beatrice (she passed away), My grandfathers' names are Dudley and Andrew. I am been able to atleast see all of my grandparents. I have my grandmother's name on my mom side. Her first and last name is my middle name.

I only remember one side of my grandparents first names (the other ones passed away when I was 5 and I'm more forgetful in my old age).
Leo and Elizabeth, but everyone called her Lizzy.
May they both rest in peace. :-)
