Mine were Helen Irene, Helen Julia, Robert Berry, and Robert Orlan. DH are Faustino, Natividad, Mariano, and Maria (no mn for traditional Mexican families in their part of Mexico). I'm angling for Orlando as a tribute for my grandfather/father so we'll see..

Man, I love so many of these names.
Mine: Robert George and Nora Belle Richard Orvin and Betty Francis
DH (don't know the middle names): Chester and Charlotte Lawrence and Andrea
Although, I think my great-grandparents had much more interesting names: Mayo Francis and Claudia Jane Armojean and Adoise (thought it was Idosis, because that's how they all said it, but no) Messia and Reva Estella Fred Forrest and Edith Jane

I love this thread! I love older names that you don't hear as often anymore.
Mine: Estella Jean (went by Jean) Norman Oliver Pauline Virginia (goes by Polly) Harry Leon
DH: Charles (goes by Charlie) Betty Bob Lee JoAnn (no middle name. Apparently her parents wanted to name her first name Jo and middle name Ann. The nurse filling out the birth certificate didn't think that Jo was a proper name for a girl, so she filled out the birth certificate with first name as JoAnn with no middle name.)

I love the idea of naming babies after their grandparents. Our LO (due in March) will be named after my and my DH's grandma's.
Mine are/were: Jean Marie, Nancy Jane, William Arthur, and Russell (no mn). Great grandmothers that I knew before they passed away were Marguerite and Lorraine.
DH was adopted, his adoptive maternal grandparents are Margaret (goes by Peggy) and Chester (went by Chet). I don't know his adoptive paternal grandparents names - they're both passed away. And he has only met one biological grandmother, her name is Josephine (goes by Jo).
