[Opinions] Re: What do you think of as “grandparents names”?
My grandparents names are timeless I think (Elizabeth, Adriana, JW) except for my grandfather Pete’s name. I still see popular names like Frank, Arthur, Oscar, Theodore, Reggie, Chester & Florence, Evelyn, Ada, Mabel, Edith, Beatrice as grandparents names (and should have kept so).Having worked with elderly I have most often encountered Mary, Joan, Doris, Annie, Jos (female, nickname), Hannah & John, Nicholas, Theodore, Albert, Leo (so many Leo’s!)
