Ugly old female names

I found these on a list of hurricane names from 1970, when it was women only. I'll stick to names we haven't heard:

Bernice, Blanca, Billie, Babe

Celia, Carlotta, Cora, Clara

Doria, Delores, Doreen, Della

Ella, Edith, Evelyn, Eileen

Francelia, Flossie, Freda

Georgette, Glenda, Georgia, Gloria

Hallie, Hope, Hyacinth, Harriet

Iris, Irah(?!), Ione, Iva

June, Joyce (when was the last time anyone named their kid Joyce?)

Kit, Kara, Kendra (doesn't sound that old, but neither does it sound great)

Lorna, Lorraine, Lillian

Mamie, Madeline, Mona

Nadine, Noreen, Nona, Nita, (No No) Nanette

Ora, Orlene, Orchid, Orva, Orla

Phyllis, Priscilla, Patty (or Patricia, or Patrice, for that matter)

Queena(?!?!)

Rena, Rhoda, Roslyn

Sherry, Selma, Simone

Trix, Thora, Trudy, Tara, Tillie

Verna(!), Vesta(!!), Virgy(!!!!!!!)

Wilda, Wallis, Wilna, Wenda

Sadly, very few of these were ever used, so we were deprived, say, the coquettish wrath of Hurricane Francelia.
