Yesterday I posted about some important family names, and now I’m trying to work them into combos. I managed to come up with:
[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_u]Aberdeen[/name_u] - My great grandmother [name_f]Mary[/name_f] (who was always [name_f]Molly[/name_f]) was from [name_u]Aberdeen[/name_u], [name_f]Scotland[/name_f]. Though I never met her, I figured that, since my other great grandmothers are being honoured (some not intentionally), [name_f]Molly[/name_f] (Granny) should get a spot.
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] - My great x 4 aunt [name_f]Sissy[/name_f] (born [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]) was the head nurse aboard the Titanic. Her story’s an amazing one, a young crew member, about 17, threw her into a lifeboat, saving her, and sacrificing himself. (If only we knew what his name was). Since I’m not a fan of [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] or [name_f]Sissy[/name_f], and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] doesn’t suit my great-great-great-great Aunt [name_f]Sissy[/name_f]'s personality (from what I’ve read, she died in 1933), [name_f]Sally[/name_f] seemed perfect. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is after my great grandmother, (who hated being called [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]…).
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is after my grandmother, who passed away when I was 11. She and I were always fairly close, so I felt like honouring her would be nice. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is after her mother (who is still alive), who I am equally close to.
[name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - [name_f]Lena[/name_f] was the name of my great great grandmother ([name_f]Margaret[/name_f]'s mum, [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]'s grandmother), and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] was the name of my other great grandmother, both on my dad’s side. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is also [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]'s middle name. I’m also considering [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], since [name_f]Lena[/name_f]'s birth name was [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f].
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is after [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], my great grandmother, and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is after the 2 ladies with [name_f]Florence[/name_f] in their name.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] - [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] after my great grandfather ([name_m]Charles[/name_m], my mum wanted to name a 3rd daughter/1st son after him), and [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] after my maternal grandmother, who I admire more than anyone.
What do you think of the combos? [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to mix up the combos, suggest variants to the family names, and leave some input!
