Susan (maternal) and Dorothy (parental). Mert (great grandmother) and Beesy (great great grandmother). I cannot go further on my dad's side.
Same here. My maternal grandmother was Elfreda. She usually shortened it to Freda.This is embarrassing, but the only name I know for sure was my mum's mother. Her name was Elisabeth but she went by the name Bessie.
The rest of them died a long time before I was born, I don't think I've even seen photo's of them.

Not necessarily, @Mamanyt1953
Great Grandmother: Mary Betty, although I'm willing to bet she was actually "Mary Elizabeth,"
I did think of that, but since her daughter was "Elizabeth," I'm thinking that she was named for mama.

My mom's name was Betty Lou and it really was Betty, not Elizabeth or Beth or anything like that. I always thought it was rather strange that she was really a Betty and not an Elizabeth. Although Dad always called her Bet and so did a lot of her friends.
