Hit me with the most 'old lady' name you can think of please!

[ImAChChChChihuahua]

For my new puppy.
I like Mabel and Ethel so far!

Have you made your mind up @ImAChChChChihuahua ?

Or you could do a poll! 😃

<prepares to vote for "Ethel">

Jemima

I'm waiting till she arrives home, not picked her up yet but I'm with you, leaning heavily to Ethel but don't think the fam will be impressed 😂

Maude

I love Millicent. And you can shorten it to Millie, which is lovely.

Ethel is a great name.

Millicent is great, but Mildred is better!

One of the women at Elizabeth the I's court was Lettice Knollys- she was quite a stirrer, IIRC

Indeed. There is a portrait at Montecute House of a redhead and the volunteers weren't sure who it is. It's not Elizabeth I, I wondered if it could be Lettice Knollys.

In fact if you had a dog, you could call him Knollys

I always wanted Peggy, but was vetoed .

Names of grandmother; great-grandmothers; great-aunts:

Maud

Freda

Nancy

May

Artelle

Edith

Artelle

Now that's very unusual, @ToWhitToWhoo

That dog is most definitely going to have a bit of a don't-mess-with- me attitude.

Therefore, the most appropriate name for her is that of my late grandma - Mavis.

Pearl has popped into my head.

But if you have Mavis then you have to get a Derek, too.

(Of course, you can also argue that if you have an "Eth" you also need a "Ron" - don't ever shorten her name OP)

We definitely need a poll (which, of course, @ImAChChChChihuahua has every right to totally ignore and go with the name of her choice - ETHEL* 😁)

*Also my preference but that has nothing to do with it.

I love the fact that there’s 21 pages of posts about a dog’s name. 😀

Agnes
Betty
Eunice
Rhonda

I like Hilda, but guessing that's already been mentioned.

We know what is really important on MN.

Hilda

I had a tarantula named Mavis so I don't feel I can use it again, fantastic name though.

My Grandma was called Edith so I vote for that

Brenda or Eileen

Dorcas

Or Agnes?

Edith
Elsie
Audrey
Mavis
Doris
