...would be named what?

Love the whole 'old lady names comeback' thing, but can't have Mabel, Martha, Ivy, or Ada 🙈

In the film Meet Me in St Louis, Judy Garland’s character is called Esther and her sisters are Rose, Agnes and Tootie! If anyone knows what Tootie is short for I’d be very grateful! It always bugs me. The brother is Alonzo ‘Lon’ Jr. Sorry to get off topic but she’s the first Esther I thought of!

My first thought was Miriam or Rachel.

Mine too.

Or Naomi.
