My grandma is Pansy Lorreen. My mother Pansy Jean. My great-grandmother Pansy Ellen. Oddly my great-grandma hated her name and went by Ellen. It was one thing she could remember in the late stages of Alzheimers, she would curse anyone in the home calling her Pansy.

The doctor that delivered me also delivered my mother and asked if I would be Pansy the fourth. My mother so eloquently replied "Hell no."

I also have aunts Buela and Bernis (Aunt Bun).

Zen's avatar makes me laugh, she doesn't look like a Pansy though.

Grace and Nellie here for g'ma's

(& I got Grace as my middle name, which was horrible thru school...but now that Grace is having a come back ....I like it!)

Wow...more proof that my S/O is younger than I am....his Gma's name is JANET!!!!

[Aggie_Ama]

IMDeanna- My father's mother's name is Joan Janet. She always has gone by Janet. She is 76, my mom's mother is 90. Hard to believe my grandmas are a complete generation apart but my parents are only 2 years apart in age.

Pansy Lorreen.
That's a very southern-sounding name.
I like it!

I suppose it could be worse:
My Paternal grandmother was stuck with Pina Letitca . She liked it so much, her tombstone reads "Lucille D. L."
My Maternal Grandmother got off easier in the name with Aileen

K... so I chimed in near the start of this with my grandmother's sister, Hazel, both of whom played accordians...

Well my beloved Nana's name was Grace. My third name is Grace, and my daughter's third name is Grace. I'm sorry you didn't like it, Deanna, but Grace was almost my most favourite of my three "first" names.

She is very southern/southwestern. Born in Arizona, proud graduate of Llano (TX) high school, second in a class of 8! She and my Pawpaw lived in a tent when they first got married. Still does the NY Times Crossword in pen without mistakes.

Feisty old lady, I hope to be just like her. She will whack my cousins (grown) with her wooden cane if they are being disrespectful. Doesn't hurt them, just teaches the boys to be nicer.

I love the name Grace, too. We named our third kiddo Claire, but it was a toss up between Grace and Claire.

I had a step-great-grandmother named Grace. In retrospect I really didn't like her very much though.

+1 Oak.

Mine is Karen Ann. I always wanted to be called Ann, and spell with the E at the end. :-/

Karen

My middle name is Anne (note the E lolol). I was named after my Aunt Anne, and then passed it on to my daughter. Both my grandmother's were named Margaret, as is my mom, and I really wanted to name my daughter that, but hubby thought it was too old fashioned. I love that name, though....

[farrellcollie]

I had an aunt gertrude and a great aunt beulah.

Zen, your avatar always reminds me of the joke:

"Welcome to heaven. Here is your harp."

"Welcome to hell. Here is your accordian."

[Eden]

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