Old lady names

[Namesheardinthewild]

Not pregnant, just wanting to expand horizons. I love ‘old lady’ names and wondered if anyone had any to add? So far I love:

Agatha
Enid
Violet
Mabel
Elizabeth (although I think this is more classic than old lady)
Joyce
Jane

Myrtle
Desma
Dorothy

I don’t think I’ll ever like the sound of Hortense or Enid.

Beryl. Everyone always forgets about Beryl. I think it’s a fabulous name.

also, I think a baby Stella or Sally would be quite cool.

Or Glenys

I love:

Dot / Dottie
Enid
Edie (Edi? )
Flora
Esther
Mags
Florrie

My brothers 2 girls are Winnie and Agnes ❤️

My 90 yo neighbour is called Vida, hadn't heard that name until I met her.

I love Iris and Ada.

I had two teachers in the late 70s / early 80s named Cora.

It's very much an Irish granny name.
