Francis and Frances (not kidding)
Katherine and Joseph

Great Grandparents: [grandfather left home at 16 and never spoke of them, all I know is they were Polish] and Joseph/shamefully can't remember.
Maria/[possibly also Joseph] and Cleotilde /Gumecindo.
My grandmother thankfully nipped the Gumecindo trend in the bud. I don't think anyone was particularly upset that they didn't carry on that particular family tradition.
ETA: Lazaro is the family name that I'd probably bring back. It's been a few generations since anyone's had it, and I think it's pretty cool, despite the potential for mispronunciation / confusion.
