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

Love Margaret or Marguerite.
Also Cecily or Cicely.

Alot of these names being thrown out will be women who are now in their 40s and 50s, not exactly 'old lady'!

My MIL is called Gladys. She absolutely hates it. My grandma was called Henrietta, which I love.
