[Opinions] What names match the vibe of this picture?
What would you name these two ladies?

Clara and Maude
They look Welsh.My IRL great grandma and her sister were Sally and Gladys who were born in the early 1900s in Wales. They had another sister Vera and two brothers Mark and Ivan.
Second Sally and Gladys.
They look old and there is English writing in back so Doris and Agnes?
Gertrude and Hilde
They seemed Puritan to me at first and I thought of (from left to right) Sibyl and Patience, but now I want to change my answer to Bethan and Glenys. I like this type of posts!
As a nod to the Battle of Fishguard Jemima and for the other one Branwen.
I underestimated how recognizable Fishguard is! (yeah, that is Fishguard).
Nicholas is a family last name and I have family ties to Wales.
Bronwen and, not sure really, maybe Sarah? I read once about a Welsh farm woman who was making hay in a field when a landing party of, maybe a dozen, French Revolutionary soldiers landed and marched menacingly uphill. The first thing anyone else knew about this was when she delivered them all to the local authorities, who locked them up and asked her how she'd managed to get them arrested etc; she simply said "I surrounded them." The older of these two ladies, walking stick and all, looks capable of that!
There's a 50% chance the woman on the right is named Sarah "Sally" irl (alternatively, she may be Sarah's sister Elizabeth "Cissy" - though the woman on the left isn't one of those two). They're actually standing in front of a pub that the French surrendered at. :)

Fantastic - hearts of oak, indeed! Thank you
Those outfits look Welsh, so I would name them Gwenllian and Angharad.
