I do think that our grandparents' names in general are nothing like what we'd name our kids these days due to the sheer outdated-ness of some names.
(Although I had a great-grandmother named Elizabeth and one named Kate--although we found out recently her real name was actually Clara)
As for my grandparents:
Ethel, Sherwin (who had brothers named Milton and Monroe), and Albert.
I would name a kid Charlotte after one grandmother--but too many people in the family are already named for her. She's the only good one in the bunch! But if you look back--my grandparents had completely normal names for their generation. (Okay, maybe not Sherwin...but Ethel and Albert for sure).
