Ugly Old Female Names.




I absolutely hate little old lady names. At first, I thought I hated the connotations of racism, homophobia, prejudice, and general "old people" ideas of yesteryear the names brought up.

But then I started thinking more and more about it. Even if these names were given to the most beautiful teen and young twenty-something girls, they would still sound ugly.

  • Gertrude
  • Gretchen
  • Ethel
  • Gladys
  • Agnes
  • Bertha
  • Martha
  • Delores
  • Mildred
  • Edna
  • Bessie
  • Myrtle
  • Hazel
  • Ruth
  • Prunella
  • Margaret (or worse...Marjorie)
Some of these names are just awful. I used to think Elizabeth was dry and ugly, but Elizabeth is nothing compared to these horrendous offenders!
