Your Mother

[RedAngie]

I don’t this is a security question anywhere.

What is (was) your Mom’s first name? And her age? It’s interesting how some “old” names are fashionable again, while your particular name may have fallen out of favor.

My mother was named Rita, born in 1932, and would be 89 now if she were alive.

What the heck? Father too. Edward, born 1928, would be 93 now.

Violet. And it was just recently given to her great granddaughter. It has really come back around.

 

[nene0182]

My mom was named Vicki. She would be 69 if still alive.

My dad is Randy and he’s 71.

 

[jdb in AZ]

My mom was named for her dad's former girl friend. Cleopha. yeah. She went by Jeanne, and would've been 96.

DH's mother was Myrna and would've been 102. DH and i joked about naming our DD Myrna Cleopha, or Myrpha Jeanne for short. actually her name is Becky.

Mom was Evelyn, born 1912, would have been 109.

Dad was Eugene, born 1908, would have been 113.

Mom was Evelyn, born 1912, would have been 109.

Dad was Eugene, born 1908, would have been 113.

I love Evelyn. I floated that name when we were choosing baby names but I was shot down. We settled on Heidi but baby Heidi turned out to be baby Elliot so I didn't mourn the loss of Evelyn too much.

Albina Agnes, born in 1917 and would have been 104 last month (she died at 99). She went by the name Allie and was completely adored by all of us. She had 4 great-great-granddaughters and all of them have the name Allie as their middle name.

Mom is Sherry Ann born in 1950. Stepmother is Katherine Sue born in 1951. DH’s mom was Cheryle Marie. 1951-2? Somewhere in there.

My kids and I were just talking about the popularity of my mom’s name in the ‘50s because she puts “Sherry B” at the end of posts or texts and how Cheryle was just as popular as an alternative to Sherry.

Lots of the “old” names from my grandmothers time are quite popular. The only Cora I ever knew was my great aunt but suddenly everyone was naming their baby girls Cora. My youngest DD has a friend named Edith and I know someone who just named her baby Vera.

My moms name was Madeline but went by Maggie. She was born in 1922.

Margaret, named after her mother and her great grandmother; my 3rd sister named her oldest daughter the same. She was born in 1937, passed in 1980. I was named after my grandmother's middle name and my great great grandmother (Jennie, only I'm a Jennifer).

Dad was Harry, not named after anyone as far as I know; born in 1935, passed in 2007.

[Kitty 34]

My Mom is Elizabeth but goes by Betty; born in 1930. She's 91.

 

[Christine]

Linda born in 1945.

 

[PollyannaMom]

My Mom is Elizabeth but goes by Betty...

My DH's grandmother did that as well.

My own parents were/are Peggy and Bert. Both their names (1940s era) fit them, but in all my years substitute teaching, I only taught one Peggy, and no Berts, so I don't think they've come back into fashion.
