[Facts] What names are Prue and True nicknames for?
I've heard the names Prue and True. I cannot find out what they could be nicknames for other than Prudence and Gertrude/Trudy. Anyone know any others? Thanks!

Trueman/Truman and PrudentiaGertrude is an interesting idea. I would not have thought about that. But since you mentioned it there are also Truthgeb, Edeltrud, Trudberta, Trudgart, Trudmar, Trudo, Waltrun, Dietrun, Trutz and many othersI am surprised that True is not in the data base.

True is generally bestowed as a word name, rather than a nickname, I would think.
