Favorite "Old Lady" and "Old Man" Names

This definitely seems to be my style, so I'm wondering if there may be some other names out there in this category that I might love. What are your favorites?

Re: Favorite "Old Lady" and "Old Man" Names
Gladys and Harold
I worked at a nursing home, and ended up finding some really good baby names! Altho half of why I love the names probably have to do with how inspiring/goofy/loving some of my residents were, and not really about the names. And I love names that have nicknames, especially if they end in -ie, or -ey. Here's my list of favs
Boy names:
Arnold (nickname Arnie), Bernard (Bucky), Emrys (Em), Mic/Mick
Girls names:
Pearl, Sylvia, Lillian (Lily), Evelyn (Evie), Mamie, Marcella
