I love ‘old lady names’ (not that I really consider them that), and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. After watching Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u], I’ve come to really like the names [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], so would like some similar to that.
