How many parents in the Pokemon games/anime have canon names?

Question

For example: in the XY games, the player’s mother is named Grace, and in the anime, Ash’s mom is named Delia.

Comments

In the Hoenn games, the player's dad is Norman, and Brendan/May's dad is Professor Birch. In DPPt, the player's mom is Joana, and the rival's dad is Palmer.

Didn't get the question, please explain

I think it means "how many parents had their names mentioned in the games or the anime?"

you've got that professor from the 3rd movie, and mallow, lillie, kiawe, sophocles' parents. And MAYBE Lana's as well?

Parents of the main characters (Player, rivals, Ash and Ash's companions) ? Or others?
