I plan on using family names that are very old fashioned but also unique when the time comes for my husband and I to start our family. But after a good deal of thought, I realized that most of my older relatvies have very different but great names. I was just wondering, what names do your grandparents (and their siblings/parents) have/had?

My mother's parents are Thur and Ellie (Thur was born on a Thursday, his father was a big jokester lol. Ellie is short for Elanore)
My father's parents are Orcutt and Carolyn (Orcutt is his mother's last name, though he goes by his middle name Calvin.)

Other older names in my family include:
Ruth
Elaine
Bertha (x2)
George (x2)
Parks
Hilda
Shirley
Johanna
Peter

I havent included the names I want to use, because Im keeping them a secret  : )

Mary-Agnes was quite the popular name, though it seems like nobody wanted to be called it! That doesnt make much sense, but I wonder if Betty and June picked those names out themselves, or if their moms decided they were better.
