whats your grandparents names

[ddnww]

sometimes i get silly ideas, thought it would be cool to show
how names have changed over generations and maybe
show a little bit of cultural backround and diversity.

no need to post last names for obvious security reasons.

maternal :
hilario(grandpa puli - pronounced poo-lee)army
josefina(grandma Josie)

paternal :
eusebio(grandpa Mike)navy
agrapina(grandma pina)

Dorothy and John.

for sure I believe names have changed over the years.

Grandmothers name was Kouka. Born in Morocco, Africa. They speak french in some parts of Africa, so she had a heavy french accent.

Wells and Nancy paternal side
John and Inez maternal side

No question, names evolve over time. I've even noticed trends since I've been paying attention during my lifetime.

Elvis and Martha on father's side
Tom and Shirley on mother's

 

[lilreds21]

John and Catherine maternal
Connie and Andrew paternal.

But the middle names are what go back to the great grandparents and are a bit strange. No clue how to spell them.

So many Johns.... That's what she said?

John (NASA/Rocketdyne) and Nancy - Maternal
Elizabeth (Navy) and (???/Marines) - Paternal

Sadly I never knew my grandfathers first name besides "Sir". He was a Major in the 2nd Division Marines WWII, died before I was born. I'll find out and correct.
