* '''[[Goshem Loste]]''' (Kristen's paternal grandfather): Possibly a curruption of "Goshen" which refers to the "Land of Goshen," the place in Egypt given to the Hebrews by the pharaoh of Joseph. This name in combination with Loste sounds like "Gosh, I'm lost" which is fitting considering he was abducted by aliens.

* '''[[Vera Loste]]''' (Kristen's paternal grandmother): Of Russian or Latin origin. It coincides with the Latin ''verus'' meaning "verity." In Russian, ''vera'' means "faith." This name in combination with Loste sounds like "very lost."

* '''[[Leonard Simnitch]]''' (Kristen's maternal grandfather): Derived from the Old High German name "Leonhard," from ''levon'' meaning "lion" and ''hardu'' meaning "brave" or "hardy." It may also be derived from the Latin ''leo'' meaning "lion."
