Did your grandparents have names you don't hear much anymore?

My grandparents had Italian names, but the English equivalents are still pretty common in the U.S.

On the other hand, I had an Aunt Sadie. I have not met many Sadies lately, but yesterday there was a high school student named Sadie working as a cashier at the grocery store. I talked with her about her name. She was named after a great-grandmother.

My oldest grandparents would both be 106, my grandma was called Irene and grandfather would be called Sid or Sydney. Not sure of the correct long name spelling.

Youngest grandma is now 91 and her name is Joy. Her husband, my grandfather was called Graham. He died in 2002. Names most have heard but are not particularly common. I work for an Edna who is 87.

I had one grandmother her name was Irene, my oldest daughter's middle name is Irene, i named her after her. My youngest's middle name is Jordahn, i named her after a neice that we lost as an infant.

I’d say three out of four of my grandparents did: Maurice (pronounced like Marr Iss), Eva, Francis, and then my mom’s dad was named John. Although my cousin named his daughter Eva after my grandmother, so maybe that one’s coming back? Idk.

My mother has a name that I think has always been rare: Lera.

The name, Hubert reminds me of something my mom told me. When she was in school she knew a pair of Downs Syndrome twins named Hub and Hub. One of them rhymed with cube and the other one rhymed with cub, but they were both spelled the same way.

My Grandfather was "Seaber". No. I have no idea where it came from . But he was working class English..😷

My mom’s mom was named Peggy. I don’t hear that name too much

I had an Uncle Sherman & an Uncle Burnell. An Aunt Delma, great grandmother Ruby. Grandmother Rubina

People name their children after my grandparents. That's how awesome they were.

Also my great grandmother’s name was Mabel

My aunts middle name was Strathearne. A Scottish last name

my grandparents on my moms side were nancy and edward, my grandparents on my dads side were louise and david.

These names are kinda coming back. Friends of mine just called their kid Clifford for example.

Nettie was my Grandma's name.

Paternal grandmother was Henrietta. If I was given that name, I’d be as crabby was she was.

No,my grandparents were William and Marie.

Yes, which was why my kid was named after one.
