Grandmother's siblings names

General Name Discussion
1

I came across a thread where someone posted their Great-grandparents children’s names and I always remember my grandmother having awesome sibling names.

Her parents immigrated here from Germany and their names were [name]Martin[/name] and [name]Augusta[/name]. Her brothers were [name]Albert[/name], [name]Herman[/name], [name]Hans[/name] and sisters were [name]Frieda[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Alma[/name], [name]Martha[/name], and [name]Meta[/name]. Her name is [name]Elsie[/name].

I really love a lot of these names! Did any of your great-grandparents or grandparents have lovely sibsets? [name]Both[/name] of my grandparents came from large [name]German[/name] families and I love the name inspirations!

I’ll skip to my great-grandparents’ siblings since my grandparents and all but three siblings are still alive. This should be fun.

Well, one of my great-great-grandfathers had two wives (not at the same time) and twenty children. Five of the children died as infants and weren’t named. I do have names for the other fifteen: [name]Sterling[/name], [name]John[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Monroe[/name], [name]Della[/name], [name]Vernie[/name], [name]Leroy[/name], [name]Etta[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Bennie[/name], [name]Murry[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Grace[/name], [name]Martin[/name], [name]Eunice[/name], [name]Juanita[/name], and [name]Christine[/name].

My great-grandfather came from the second largest family; his parents had fourteen children. Their names were [name]Estelle[/name], [name]Nona[/name], [name]Fannie[/name] [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Myrtice[/name], [name]Earl[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Daniel[/name], [name]Juanita[/name], [name]Bernice[/name], [name]Betty[/name] [name]Sue[/name], [name]Jimmy[/name], and [name]Donald[/name]. Yes, my great-grandfather had brothers named [name]James[/name] and [name]Jimmy[/name].

Another great-grandfather is from my favorite sibling group: [name]Annie[/name], [name]Erastus[/name], [name]Katie[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Jessie[/name] (m), [name]Cora[/name], [name]Della[/name], [name]Essie[/name] [name]Lee[/name], [name]Murphy[/name], [name]Maude[/name], and [name]Homer[/name]. Once I’d learned all of their full names, I was looking at my name list one day and realized that I had either the first or middle name of all eleven on my list. I thought it was cool.

I won’t bore everyone with the rest of my great-grandparents’ siblings’ names. :stuck_out_tongue:

My maternal grandparents are only children.
My paternal grandmother had five older sisters: [name]Helen[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Mabel[/name], and [name]Ramona[/name]. I always thought my grandmother got the short end of the stick because her name is [name]Dean[/name]. Not [name]Diane[/name], not [name]Deanna[/name]. [name]Dean[/name].
My paternal grandfather has a brother and some half sisters but I do not know their names

My maternal grandparents were [name]Casper[/name] [name]Frederick[/name] and [name]Mary[/name] [name]Anna[/name] ([name]German[/name] last name). They had [name]Clifford[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Bertha[/name] [name]Marie[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Robert[/name], [name]Norman[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Annabelle[/name], and Irsel [name]Winifred[/name] (my mother).

My paternal grandparents were [name]August[/name] [name]Adolph[/name] and [name]Laura[/name] [name]May[/name] (or [name]Mae[/name]) ([name]German[/name] last name). They had [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Gustav[/name] (who died in infancy), [name]Gertrude[/name], [name]Mildred[/name], [name]Carrie[/name], [name]John[/name], and [name]Roy[/name] [name]Albert[/name] (my father). I think there were more…I seem to remember there being 8 to 10 children and that’s just 7.

I don’t have much info on my great-grandparents and their siblings. I actually don’t know if any of them have siblings… Perhaps that’s a conversation I should have with my parents! Anyway, here are my grandparents and their siblings:

Maternal Grandfather: [name]Frederick[/name] [name]Gilmore[/name] “[name]Freddy[/name]” (Today would have been his birthday.)
Siblings: [name]Kenneth[/name] “[name]Ken[/name]” , [name]Mildred[/name] “[name]Millie[/name]”, [name]Gladys[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] “[name]Marge[/name]” , [name]Ronald[/name], and [name]Richard[/name] “[name]Dickie[/name]”.

Maternal Grandmother: [name]Dorothy[/name] [name]Bernice[/name]
Siblings: [name]Francis[/name], [name]Kathleen[/name], [name]Pauline[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name] “[name]Celia[/name]”, [name]Theresa[/name], Geneiveve “[name]Genny[/name]”, [name]Matilda[/name] “[name]Tillie[/name]”, [name]Virginia[/name] “[name]Ginny[/name]”, [name]Anthony[/name] “[name]Tony[/name]”, [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name]

Paternal Grandfather: [name]Roger[/name] [name]Lyon[/name]
Siblings: [name]Joseph[/name] “[name]Joe[/name]”

Paternal Grandmother: [name]Barbara[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
Siblings: [name]Barney[/name] “Dook”

The maternal side is completely Portugese, so I find it really interesting that the name [name]Gilmore[/name] was used for both my grandpa and Aunt [name]Millie[/name] as a middle name. My paternal side is mainly French, though there are some [name]German[/name], Dutch, Irish, English and Jewish heritage as well.

My maternal grandmother was the second of twelve. Their names were [name]Margaret[/name] (my grandmother), [name]Veronica[/name], [name]Angeline[/name], [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Anna[/name] [name]Marie[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Daniel[/name], [name]Clement[/name], [name]Florian[/name], [name]Isidore[/name], [name]Leon[/name], and [name]June[/name] (yes, a guy name [name]June[/name] – I think it was short for ([name]Alexander[/name]) [name]Junior[/name], but I’m not 100% sure.)

And one of my great-grandfathers came from a family of nine: [name]Frank[/name] (my great-grandfather), [name]Albert[/name], [name]Michael[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], Franciska (yeah, a [name]Frank[/name] and a Franciska), [name]Rosalia[/name], [name]Charles[/name] (half-brother), [name]Martin[/name] (half-brother), and [name]Antoinette[/name] (half-sister).

That’s all I’m really familiar with.

My great granddad’s brothers and sisters had pretty cool names:

[name]Alma[/name] [name]Annie[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]Nelson[/name] (Great Grandad)
Ethelinda
[name]Louis[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] Ethell
[name]Percy[/name] William
[name]Sarah[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]

I think it was the influence of their mother [name]Annie[/name], as her siblings and aunts and uncles have fun names too:

[name]Annie[/name] and her sisters:

[name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Annie[/name] (g.g. grandmother. She just went by [name]Annie[/name]. I don’t blame her.)
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ida[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Letitia[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Thomasine[/name] [name]Norah[/name]
[name]Ethel[/name] [name]Constance[/name]

Her dad, aunts and uncles:

[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] Ethell
[name]Sarah[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name] [name]Maria[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Alfred[/name] Ethell
[name]Hebert[/name] Ethell
[name]Ernest[/name] Ethell
[name]Edwin[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] ([name]Annie[/name]'s dad)

I don’t know anything about my great-grandparents’ siblings but I know some of my grandparents’.

My paternal grandma’s parents were [name]Louis[/name] (he changed it from [name]Luigi[/name] when he came to [name]America[/name]) and [name]Mary[/name] [name]Dolores[/name] (she was [name]Maria[/name] Delorosa in the home). They gave their children American names but they were all baptized with their Italian names (Italian in ()s):
[name]Patsy[/name] ([name]Pasquali[/name]…a boy)
[name]Irene[/name] (Irien…my grandma)
[name]William[/name] ([name]Guglielmo[/name])
[name]Alverda[/name] (the only one that actually had an Italian name!)
[name]Lewis[/name] ([name]Luigi[/name])
[name]Nancy[/name] ([name]Nunzia[/name])

My paternal grandpap’s parents were [name]Frank[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Marie[/name] and their kids were:
[name]Frank[/name] [name]Edward[/name] (died in childhood)
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name] (my grandpap)

I don’t know much about my mom’s parents’ siblings. I get them all confused. My maternal grandparents were [name]Jeannette[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name] and I know my grandma had a sister [name]Catherine[/name] and that somewhere between them there is a [name]John[/name] [name]Miles[/name], more Catherines, and a host of others.

I think my Italian side had a cool idea to give the kids a name and then call them by their Italian names. Also, [name]Frank[/name] is a family name-- there have been [name]Frank[/name] [name]Peter[/name], [name]Frank[/name] [name]Joseph[/name], two [name]Frank[/name] Edwards, and I think a [name]Frank[/name] [name]Thomas[/name].

My maternal grandmother had 8 brothers and sisters: {Parents [name]Linwood[/name] & [name]Nannie[/name]}
[name]Garvin[/name], Olgie {prn. all-gee}, [name]Charles[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Willie[/name] [name]May[/name], [name]Elsie[/name] {my grandmother}, [name]Janie[/name], [name]Opal[/name], [name]Edwin[/name].

My maternal grandfather only had one brother: {Parents [name]Antonia[/name] & [name]Anna[/name]}
[name]Mario[/name] {[name]Mike[/name]}, [name]Francesco[/name] {[name]Frank[/name]} {my grandfather}.

My paternal grandmother had 2 sibilings: {Parents ??? & ???}
[name]Gertrude[/name] {my grandmother}, [name]Harry[/name], & not sure about the other sister.

My paternal grandfather had 3 siblings: {Parents [name]Otto[/name] & ???}
[name]Dorthea[/name], [name]Hans[/name], [name]Uli[/name] {short for something}, [name]Eberhard[/name] {my grandfather}.

[name]Don[/name]'t have the family tree in front of me or I’d be able to tell you more. Tried to ask my dad but he didn’t even know his own grandparents names, he never met them!

I’d feel weird about posting my grandparents’ names and their siblings’ since they’re still alive, but I’ll share my grandma’s mom and her siblings’ names (the only ones I know of and who have English names- my grandparents were all from Hong Kong or [name]China[/name]):

[name]Pauline[/name], [name]Suzy[/name] (my great-grandma), [name]Pansy[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Polly[/name], [name]Helen[/name], [name]Sarah[/name]. There were more but some didn’t have English names and some I just don’t remember. Yes, [name]Pauline[/name] and [name]Polly[/name] as sisters… My great-grandpa, [name]Suzy[/name]'s husband, was [name]George[/name]. None of them had middle names.

My great grandparents were Semino and Minzette

My family is (mainly) Danish, that’s why the names are slightly weird.

16

This is so nostalgic. I haven’t really thought about family names in awhile.

My maternal Great-Grandmother’s name was [name]Julia[/name] and her siblings were [name]Leta[/name], [name]Sadie[/name], [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]John[/name] and [name]Leo[/name].

My paternal Grandmother was [name]Josephine[/name] and her siblings were [name]Janet[/name], [name]Vivian[/name], [name]Carolyn[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Dean[/name], [name]Milford[/name], and [name]Bruce[/name].

and me and my siblings are [name]Brianna[/name], [name]Amy[/name], and [name]James[/name]. It makes me a little sad how people don’t or can’t have as many children as they used to.

My grandparents and their siblings had names that would be considered dated today

My great grandparents and their siblings had names that would be more likely to be heartily embraced today

Great grandmother [name]Clara[/name] had siblings [name]Matthias[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Rose[/name], and [name]Elizabeth[/name]
Great Grand father [name]Louis[/name] ([name]Ludwig[/name]) had 11 siblings including [name]Pauline[/name], [name]Wenzel[/name], [name]Edward[/name], and [name]John[/name]

My paternal grandmother’s name was [name]Gwenyth[/name] [name]Jane[/name] nn [name]Gwen[/name], and her sister’s name is [name]June[/name].
I didn’t meet either of my grandfather’s before I was born, but their names were [name]Leonard[/name] and [name]Owen[/name].

My paternal grandpa had a great sibset.

[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] “[name]Art[/name]”
[name]Gladys[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Kathrine[/name] “[name]Kate[/name]”
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Ford[/name] “[name]Ford[/name]” (yes, really)
[name]Loretta[/name]

Not a big fan of the names [name]Eugene[/name] or [name]Gladys[/name], but overall, I think my great-grandparents had good taste in names.
