Right now, I think "grandpa names" or "grandma names" refer to the common names of people who have grandkids who are thirteen and under, so to speak. This points to a demographic of Late Boomers / Early Gen-X in terms of ages. I'm going with roughly 1955-1975 for the years of birth here. A lot of these names are names I previously thought of as "Dad / Mom names."

Anyway, these are my picks for the biggest "grandparents names":

---

Gary (I absolutely cannot picture a child with this name)
Larry
Jerry
Terry (notice a pattern?)
Paul (and "Paulie")
Frank
Dale
Rodney (and "Roddy")
&
Linda
Donna
Martha
Susan
Debra / Deborah (and "Debbie")
Brenda
Janice
Shirley
Nancy
Lori
Barbara
Sharon

I'd add Karen as well, but she's sort of... in her own category, sadly.
