Re: Edna
in reply to a message by Martha
"Irredeemably hideous" comes close ... on my dad's side of the family there were two sisters, Eileen and Edna, which is pretty dire all round; their mother's full and only name was Florrie, so perhaps her lack of judgement is understandable.
Edna and Ethel would have been even worse.
And, going back to an earlier thread, I would enjoy Edith much more if only I hadn't been at school with one (the family went in for the unusual, her full names are Edith Linda Marie!) who was a whiney whinger back in the day and has repeatedly ended up in rehab: drugs and alcohol. And I just see her face, with its expression of sulky desperation.
