Makes me think of the old woman on Coronation street a few years ago. Granny chic is not for me.

Golden girls

PersonaNonGarter · 13/09/2021 21:05

Golden Girls and Aristocats. It’s pretty sweet (maybe twee)?

kaleidoscopeheartless · 13/09/2021 21:05

It was my Nanna's name. For a young girl it's a no no.

Blanched Almonds

My first thought is Streetcar Named Desire closely followed by the Golden Girls then Ken Barlows mother in law on Coronation Street...

I'm not sure it's ready to come around again yet

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 13/09/2021 21:08

A way of cooking vegetables.

Or Blanche from Coronation Street.

JaninaDuszejko · 13/09/2021 21:10

A Streetcar Named Desire. So very Southern belle.

Barwell76 · 13/09/2021 21:12

A Streetcar named Desire was my first thought.

ParkheadParadise · 13/09/2021 21:14

Blanche from Cornation Street.

IncorrigibleTitmouse · 13/09/2021 21:20

The third best character on Golden Girls!

crystalspiders · 13/09/2021 21:21

Golden girls! I really love it

PalmarisLongus · 13/09/2021 21:22

Golden Girls.

It's all on Disney+ and I watched it all in about a fortnight when I couldn't get out of bed cause had Covid.
I freaking love golden girls.

brittanyfairies · 13/09/2021 21:22

I live in France and I know an adorable 2 year old called Blanche.

Suzi888 · 13/09/2021 21:24

Golden girls Grin I loved it! Not sure about it as a baby name though (sorry).

TatianaBis · 13/09/2021 21:27

French, love. Know a very chic Blanche.

TatianaBis · 13/09/2021 21:27

Golden Girls is simply too old a sitcom for it to have any relevance.

TeaMeBasil · 13/09/2021 21:28

I also freaking love The Golden Girls! Your only problem is you have to immediately have 3 more girls to complete the set Wink

TeaMeBasil · 13/09/2021 21:29

Golden girls are always relevant...!

RosesAndHellebores · 13/09/2021 21:29

Fresh veg dipped in boiling water momentarily and then frozen. Or Deirdre's mum.

😱Get outta here! 🤣 (In the voice of Blanche!)

Growing up in St. Olaf, Minnesota there was a guy there called Relevance. Well, his name was really Vance, but he was somehow related to everyone so we called him Relly Vance. So Golden Girls always has Relevance.

This. Not a name for a child growing up in the 2020s.

Always think Blanche from Corrie, I’m afraid
