Old Lady Girls Names..

[Zebraa]

To go with Charlie.

Baby isn't due until March but we just can't decide on any names and it's exhausting us both a bit...

Lol just had to click on this as i get told i have picked 'old people' names for my dc's esp dd2 and they are here

Harry , Lily and Martha

Artichokes - I called my daughter Matilda - what put you off?

zebraa - Constance, Nancy and Nell (wanted that but didn't work in Italian). Maybe it's time for a revival of Enid, Ethel and Eunice.

Betty, Ethel, Kathleen, Bud, Sheila, Patricia, Peggy, Doreen, May, Eileen, Ernestine, Hilda, Agnes.

Just a few ideas.

Have met a few babies with some of the above names - still never seen a baby Doreen though!

Ena, Ada, Ida, Eudora, Eugenia, Gladys, Lavinia, Octavia, Winefride. Can't imagine why Lucretia fell out of favour .

Gladys, Florence, Doris, Edith, Mabel,Mary,Margaret,Queenie,Iris,Pearl,Irene.
Iris is lovely

We have two elderly neighbours named Charlie - their wives are called Joan & Mavis?!? (quite like Mavis - not so keen on Joan, (the names that is, the ladies themselves are lovely))

My grandmother Edith, her sister Mabel (known as May).

My other grandmother Nana, her sisters Gertrude, Margaret, Audrey, Gladys and Hilda.

My great-aunts Edith, Kate, Alice and Lily.

Others from their generation - Emily, Gwendoline, Elsie, Dorothy, Helen, Ivy, Sarah, Irene, May, Emma, Jessie, Valeria.
