@smoothlikebutter - The name Hortense is girl's name of Latin origin meaning "of the garden". Hortense is actually the French feminine form of Hortensia, the name of a strong, politically active early Roman woman. Hortense began to be used in the English-speaking world in the nineteenth century.

Pronounced Horr - tense, rhyming with more-pence.

Olive.

I agree with MurderAtTheBeautyPageant though- an 80s name would be great!

I liked Peggy but Trudie is my fave. Is it a big dog or a wee one. Our boy is Alfie - big dog
enjoys puppy days (mine is 18mo glad they are past now though)

Sadie. Best name for a dog. I am not biased or anything.

I like Sue.

Or Pauline, Linda, Pam, Joan, Wendy. All popular in the 1950's when my mom now in her 70's was born, so I'd class then as old lady names.
