Grandmothers' names were Louise and Ella. I love the name Ella, but, well, Grandma Ella was not someone you'd want to name another human for, so... no Ellas in following generations. Grandma Louise was a lovely, awesome human. My sister's middle name is Louise.
I have the day off. Yay!
I meant to say -- she's the only Buffy I've ever met.
There's only one in all the world at any one time.
My uncle used Grandpa's name for his son's middle name (Robert Bror), so that was covered. On the other side, I don't believe anyone used Ambrose for a middle name.
My sister's husband's last name is Jaymes.
We have informed them that, regardless of actual name of even gender, we will be calling any kid they produce "Jimmy."
News Radio was just that cool.
Grandmothers were Joanne (Joey), Fay (mom's real mom - died young), and Montine (mom's stepmom). Grandfathers were Charles Kennedy (CK) and William Ollie. I am Joanne Montine (Monti). Hate the name Joanne and have been Monti from birth.
I love the name Evelyn, but Joe thinks it would sound too cutesy being paired with Emeline.
I also really like Margaret (great great grandmother).
My grandmothers were Hazel and Lillian. My sister called dibs on Lillian, which was fair since Lillian wasn't my biological grandmother.
Edited to remove extra "u" from Evelyn for I am not British or Canadian and therefore do not need a u to make things words.

She was very pleased when BTVS existed (though she didn't watch it), because that meant she could wear clothing with her name on it.
I sorta dig Ambrose.
It's such a Victorian name, isn't it? Grandpa was born in 1901, and other than him, I always associate it with Ambrose Bierce.
I have noticed a lot of two-named girls since we moved to GA: Anna Grace, Katie Grace, Anna Frances, and there's one other at Casper's school that I am forgetting.
I like the name Evelyn, but it is SHOOTING up the popularity charts - from ca. 130 when we named Casper to 55 last year; I imagine it will be higher this year.
