No kids. But, I am loving seeing these old names. Many of them are making a comeback, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

My mom's parents: Harold (b. 1904) and Mildred (b. 1906) Mildred's siblings were Lyle, Lucille (nickname Luce), and Leona. Harold's sisters were Rose and Effa (pronounced 'eff-ee'). All very 'of the time' type names.
My dad's parents: John (my dad was John Jr.) and hmmm- I don't remember his mother's name- Beatrice, maybe? They were both born in the early 1900s, and I don't think I ever got to met her.
