Id be Lena. Although my lot didnt seem to follow that pattern, but we had a lot of Alice's and Rachels. Every generation from gggg grandad has either married one or named their daughters those names. |

'Snap' Margaret. Mine would be the name I have now - Louise but with an 'a' Louisa. My nan was also named after her nan (dad's side) so in fact I'm named after my gg grandmother. |

I follow the pattern - my first name is Mary after my grandmother who died 1 month before I was born - for some reason known only to my parents - I have always been known by my second name.......this is a real pain....for all hospital appointments I am Mary.....legal documents again Mary....etc etc....I don't answer to Mary its not my name - why 'Mary Christine' and not 'Christine Mary'......mind you the nurse when I was born thought I should be 'Poppy' and my aunt wanted me to be Cynthia so perhaps I should be grateful for small mercies....Poppy is lovely now but in the 1940s.....no way.......and not with the surname Tuck ! ! ! |

If I was named after my mother's mother (I am the firstborn and only girl) I would be Gladys Winifred Mary. But my grannie wasn't named after her grannie, or she (and thus me) would have been Honor Brewer Pope Broad Smoothy! Yes, quite. Husband would have been Edward Mandry Evans. nell |
