Clunky old lady names!

[name_f]My[/name_f] paternal grandmother’s middle name was [name_f]Edith[/name_f] so I totally understand!

[name_f]Gretchen[/name_f] seems like a cool name to me, although not my personal style. I’d love to meet a little girl called [name_f]Gretchen[/name_f].
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] is one of my favourite ‘clunky old lady names’ I especially love the nickname [name_f]Edie[/name_f] !

Others are:
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] (with the nickname [name_m]Henri[/name_m] !)
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] (This name feels so cosy and warm to me)
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] (My all time fav girl name with the nicknames [name_f]Effy[/name_f] & Flora)
[name_f]Leontine[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] (I ADORE THIS NAME)
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] (With the nickname [name_m]Jem[/name_m] would be adorable)
[name_f]Christabel[/name_f] (Soooo pretty)
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] (Nicknames [name_m]Theo[/name_m] / Thea)
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] (For some reason makes me visualise a fairy or an enchanted forest. very whimsical)
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

I forgot I posted here already.

Oop.

Prudence and Agnes are my absolute favorites in this category! I play on online game with little pet people, and my girls are named Prudence and Agnes.

I also love Esther, Gloria, Joan, Mabel, Maud, Cora, Dorothy, Patrice, Betty, Ruby, Pearl, Marjorie, and Audrey. I know some of those aren’t actually “ugly” and are reemerging as popular names again, and I’m glad.
