What were (are) your grandparent's names?

Its interesting how names go in and out of style. The book "Freakanomics" has a whole chapter on how names migrate though different social classes, and based on this they predict the top baby names in the year 2030.

But anyway, what were your grandparent's name?

Swampy's grandmothers were named Clema and Agnes. Clema's mother was named Ellen.

Occasionally you still hear of an Ellen, but you almost never hear of a Clema or an Agnes.

I'm such a goof! My grandpa's name wasn't Theodore (he went by "Ted" though). His name was Forrest and I think his middle name was Theodore or something similar. Oy vey!

My cat's name is on the predicted boy list (Beckett). I actually agree with many of the names making a comeback!
