What are Your Grandfathers' Names?

Boy Names

The grandmother name topic was the coolest idea - thanks, [name]Lilibet[/name]! Let’s do grandfathers too! What are your grandfathers’ names? (Great grandfathers, too, if you know)

My grandfathers:

  1. [name]Luther[/name] Melanchthon (named after historical figures [name]Martin[/name] [name]Luther[/name] & [name]Philipp[/name] Melanchthon)
  2. [name]August[/name] [name]Bernhardt[/name]

My great grandfathers:

  1. [name]Henry[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
  2. [name]Carl[/name] [name]Philipp[/name]
  3. [name]William[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
  4. [name]John[/name] [name]Henry[/name]

My grandfather, [name]August[/name], reportedly hated his name and would sign his name A. B. H —n. When he was 87 yrs. old (and I was 14), I told him I’d name a son after him someday. (Back then, it did not occur to me that my future husband would have to agree.) As it turned out, my husband only approved a similar name, [name]Austin[/name]. ([name]Austin[/name] is a short form of [name]Augustine[/name] derived from [name]Augustus[/name].) I think my grandfather would be so amazed to know his name [name]August[/name] has had a comeback!
