Sometimes you see a name and go, shit, I thought that was extinct for people my age.
More specifically, names that make a 25-year-old woman seem like she was going to knit you a hat, or make chicken dumplings. I started thinking, what “old lady names” elicit this reaction, and I came up with 35 real deal old lady names, and ranked them.
So, where my Debras at!?
