:list: Name List

Post Body

I’m trying to make a list of names that remind you of a plain-talking, chain-smoking, no-sh*t-taking, tough-as-nails old lady. Like Napoleon Dynamite’s grandma.

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

Lenore/Lenora

Darlene/Marlene/Darla/Marla

Madge (shout out to John Mulaney)

Sandy

Donna

Rhoda

Marge

Sheryl

Laverne

Edit: some people in the comments are associating these names with “mean” or “negative” personas, but that’s not at all what I intended. It is completely possible to be all of the things described (telling it like it is, taking no shit, etc) and have a heart of gold! 💛
