old lady names

[158ff]

I love old lady names which have a vintagey feel. We already have a Faye and I have these names as our girl option. Which one is your favourite? And other suggestions are welcome

Beatrice
Florence (too popular, too many f's?)
Jemima
Matilda
Tabitha
Ada

Matilda is gorgeous.

Mabel. Dorothy. Clara. Nancy. Maude. Martha. June. Mary. Josephine. Alice.

I do love Matilda but dislike Tilly. Martha is lovely too

Mary
Maybel
Beryl

Margot
Agnes
Thelma
Joy
Iris
Winnie
Betty
Rose

I love Norah

Elena
Patsy
Enid
Rose
Anne/Anna
Beulah

Ooh Agnes is great. Not sure how oh will feel. Margot is nice too, I think Maggie is a v.cute nickname

Edith
Peggy

Florence and Matilda are very popular in these parts.

I like jemima but it reminds me of a stuffed toy on a kids tv programme from a long time ago!

I couldn’t have any “th” names due to it being pronounced as “f” by most of my family.

I love Ada and Beatrice. I think Ada goes nicely with Faye.

How about,

Harriet
Elizabeth
Nancy
Eloise
Louise
Annabelle
Ava
Eva
Trudy
Lillian
Cecilia
Hazel
Fern
Grace
Emma
Nell
