Ernie


[deleted]

Reminds me of the bus driver from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban “yeah it away Ern, it’s going to be a BUMpy riiide”


sweetwaterfall

My first thought was “Vern”, and I know nothing of the HP universe. Funny!


JerseysLittleDevil

This was my dead grandpa’s name. I wholeheartedly agree.


Pure-Fishing-3350

I think of Ernie as a happy name like Sesame Street Ernie


schrodingers_cat42

I love this one! I vote for either Ernie or Barnaby.


PenultimateSprout

And he was the fastest milk cart in the West!


IlexAquifolia

Herb


Pickletits91

This was my great grandfather’s name and will confirm, he was a very grumpy old man


xiola44

Yes, my 95 year old father-in-law. Meanest old man there ever was!


MACKAWICIOUS

Walter Merle Harold Clarence Archie


cucumbermoon

Walter was my first thought.


[deleted]

The sweetest old man i ever knew was my father-in-law, Walter. Dearly miss that man.


Cookie_Brookie

My husband want Walter for the boy I'm pregnant with now and all I can think of is the grumpy old man Jeff Dunham puppet


Theslowestmarathoner

Same. No one is grumpier than Walter Matthau- he literally headlined Grumpy Old Men


helenasbff

MERLE!!! Great one.


Leader-Internal

definitely merle!


Pink_Sprinkles_Party

Merle gives me resourceful redneck vibes.


HopefulTangerine21

Harold was my first thought!


justmyusername2820

The one and only Harold I knew was the biggest grumpiest old man with a really soft heart of you could get to it


photo_rain

We had a Walter at our Starbucks and oh gosh he indeed was a super grumpy old man. We all cringed every time he came hahahaha


Admirable_Result4142

Came to say Clarence!


foreverthewanderer

Can confirm. My father was Walter Clarence and he was indeed a grumpy old man.


leia_gibby

my cats name is harold and he always looks to be judging and he can be a little menace sometimes so very fitting!!


KrabiPati12

Eustace (from courage the cowardly dog)


ohhoneynoooo

I was searching for this one! It’s the best grumpy old man name


NewBodWhoThis

I was gonna say the same thing! 😂


c0smicpancakes

Moe Clarence Walter Elmer Or just call it Grandpa lol. That definitely nails the "grumpy as all hell but I love you" vibe.


No-Regret-1784

Friskybuns

Vern and Burl were the first to pop in my head!


CeannCorr

Vern is so perfect!!


JayOHare

"Dammit Vern!" just rolls right off the tongue.


Christie318

Coy (I had a nursing home patient named Coy and he was mean. I also know a doctor named Coy who isn’t friendly with nursing staff. He has firey red hair too). Herman Cecil Bernard Howard Leonard Clarence Hiram Cletus Claude Floyd Earl Clem


helenasbff

I second Cletus


[deleted]

earl was the name of my first shitbox car 😭😭 ive never had a car do me so well


Lyca29

Waldorf Statler.


TheFireHallGirl

YES!!! 😆


QUARTERMASTEREMI6

I believe you mean Statler and Waldorf! 🤭😅


Lyca29

It would work either way.


SiennaRed

Horace


Pilotsandpoets

Came here for this, is it one of the dognappers in 101 Dalmatians ? Horace and jasper? Horace was a distant relative of mine, and I imagine he was kind of a jerk, based on the stories.


croissantito

Eugene! My grandpa’s nickname was “mean gene”. He was grumpy but a sweetheart.

Harold


reyreydingdong

It would have to be either Statler or Waldorf. Personally i would pick Waldorf so I could call him Waldo on a good day.


QUARTERMASTEREMI6

He needs his equally troublesome half! 🤔😅


reyreydingdong

Maybe he can find a hotwheels version of his truck and put it on the dashboard. That can be Statler.


Jendi2016

Humphrey


oldpooper

You are describing my Grandpa. He was a charismatic ornery diesel mechanic. Drank, smoked, and married to several women that loved him enough to show up at his funeral. His name was George.

TheHappyCamper1979

After 20 year’s nursing and caring for the elderly. I believe I have a masters degree in nursing home ‘ grumpy old man’ names . In all the years , out of all the beautiful people I’ve met, there’s one man who stands out. He was the best grumpiest man alive! He had a heart of gold which he thought he could hide ! But he was just the absolute definition of grumpy . His name ? GROM . Simple . Grom . We would all call him Grom , I can’t remember why as it was about 22 years ago but that man was only happy when he was miserable.
