I met a dog called Isla yesterday.

I like the previous suggestions of Rita and Mildred!

I want a Susan but agree that Peggy is great!

I know 2 Hortenses. Both brisk ladies in their 80s. .

It’s pronounced HOR tense….seemingly means of the garden.

I also like Eunice.

What is this Hortense name? Never ever heard it before.

How is it even pronounced? Not sure I could pull it off with my Brummy twang!!!

Old lady some might take to be pejorative but old is good and these are all beautiful names.
