For Zencentury

[Skierchickie]

My grandma was Mabel Eloise. Both of which she hated. No accordions, but she was a regular knitting machine. A lot more hair than Zen appears to have - lot of curly, thick, extremely wild & unruly hair. Everybody called her Buffy, which, apparently, was short for buffalo, due to the hair.

Wow - I miss her!

No Gertrude's out there?

No Gertrude's out there?

Nope, how about Frankie or Sushannah

I think Ettamea, Opal, or Genola could be possibilities.

On my mother's side - Edna. And she was angry that I wasn't named after her.

[Zen]

Both my Granny and my mother were named Mildred.
No wonder my mom went by her middle name.

My grandmothers' names: Rita Bertha and Zelma Ethel

WONDERFUL women whose names I did not pass on to my daughters.

[Zen]

These are all names from a certain era.

I wonder what they'll be saying about Britney , Chloe, Sienna and the like 75 years from now?

My grandma's name was Ester. She said if anyone in our family was named after her she would come back to haunt them! that is how much she did not like her name. So when my sister was born after she passed away my mom wanted to give her my grandma's name but instead they stuck an E. in there. So her name is Camerin Leslie E. Bayless. She has not said anything about hauntings so maybe grandma approved?

Birdie was her real name.

My grandmothers were Peg and Martha. Not quite your Ednas and Mildreds, but oldies nonetheless. Oddly, after we grandkids were born, Martha wanted us to call her Bambi, and we did.

Btw, Zen, I love your avatar. To me it means you - you add a lot of personality to TE .

My grannies are Sarah and Francis (sp for a woman??)- one did play the accordian, but bore no resemblance to the avatar lady....
