[Opinions] Re: What do you think of as “grandparents names”?

My eldest grandparent was born in 1918 and my youngest in 1940 so grandparent stretches nearly a generation for me. My grandparents were/are William, Norman, Janet and Yvonne. Norman and Janet are definitely grandparent names to me but William is far too common to be a grandparent name and Yvonne I have known a few of different ages so again I don’t immediately see grandparent.

Other Grandparent names

Winifred
Olive
Joan
Ethel
Pearl
Gertrude
Conrad
Alfred
Kenneth
Raymond
Gordon

Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

I had no idea that Olive was considered a grandparent's name in English-speaking countries, so thank you for letting me know.

I personally don't think of Olive as a grandparent name because it reminds me of the character from A.N.T. Farm + it can be a nickname for Olivia.
