I have yet to warm up to Gertrude, despite my love of old lady names. This and Hortense both give me pause. I like Trudy, but the name Gertrude as a whole isn't aesthetically pleasing to me.

I bet if I met an adorable little Gertrude, though, my mind would start to change. Right now it just sounds like a cantankerous old woman's name to me. That being said, I like:

Gertrude Plum - is AWESOME, not "too cute" at all! Daisy Plum, maybe; Gertrude Plum, lovely!
Gertrude Violet
Gertrude Miriam
Gertrude Emmeline
Gertrude Amabel
Gertrude Sophie
Gertrude Eloise

I think I like it paired with sweet, light middles, to counter the weight of Gertrude.

Uh oh, now it's growing on me too!!
