LOL.
My great-great grandmother`s names I know
Margareta - she came from Sweden
Eliza
Carolina- my 12 year old daughter Caitlyn Rose came damn close to being named Caroline Rose sort of after my dad Charles Ralph
Maisy - short for Margaret I think
My great grandmother`s names:
Nora
Daisy- - sometimes she was called Dolly
Myrtle
Hilda
My grandmother`s names
Irene Elizabeth -- was called Bessie
LeMoise -- shortened it to Lee and moved Moise (pronouced Mwoss or Mwah) to her middle name.
LeMoise`s sister is Marcella - not my grandmother obviously but as LeMoise died when I was nine she has been like a grandmother.
Agnes Victoria -- technically my dad`s stepmom after Bessie died but the only grandma I knew.
Bettie Louisa -- my mom`s stepmom from the time I was 11.
My husband`s grandmothers and some great grandmothers:
Fern
Evelyn
Kristina
Ida Rose
Genevieve
My kids` grandmothers:
Sue (not Susan or Susanne -- Sue -- but when she went to put her full name down for things people wanted to change it to Susan. She was LeMoise`s daughter so I am guessing my grandmother wanted to give her children more simple names)

I love that you're looking for an old-fashioned name. I LOVE older names, they're so much more unique and interesting than the names of our time... So, here goes:
On my father's side:
My grandmother's name was Kathryn Louise.
My great grandmother's name was Kathryn, but I don't know her middle name.
My great great grandmother's name was Lucille Faye but she went by Faye, which I think is a lovely name.
On my mother's side:
My grandmother's name is Thelma Jo.
My great grandmother's name was Lura (pronounced Loo-rah), can't remember her middle name.
My great great grandmother's name was Stella Marie.
Also, for some other older name suggestions:
Great aunts:
Sarah (who I'm named after-- My name is Jessica Sarah)
MaeDee
Olive
Christine
Ronda
Doris
Billie (she's a full blooded Cherokee Indian, and it shows lol)
Hope
Opal
I have many, many more but I can't remember anymore of them... Most of them I've only met once or twice, and I never met any of my grandmothers/great grandmothers on my father's side. I'm just telling you from memory.
Good luck with your search, I hope I helped.

My grandmothers' names were out there :
Petra and the other one was Cresencia (the C has a k sound).
And I can't think of any first names to go with Grace. But I know you will have fun looking for them. Whatever you pick I wish you and your family the best. Good luck with your new baby.

I love the name Olivia and Gracie. My grandmother's name was Gwendolyn Dorthy and she hated it. She went by Lynn. My other grandmother was Betty Jean. I don't know what my great grandmother's name was. What about Ruthie, or Lucy
Good Luck On What You Choose.

Why don't you name her Clara??!! Clara Grace! That goes really nicely! That is my Great Grandma's name.
Grandma: Dolores
Great Grandma: Clara
Grandma: Sharon
Great Grandma: Irene
I really like the name Clara Grace. It's unique but not too out there! Just like you want. I like the name Lucy too. Lucille Grace. Or Zoey. Chloe. Hope I helped! : )
