[Opinions] Re: Greta, Gretchen, Gretel
in reply to a message by sprout
Gretchen is the cutest and most youthful.
I like Gretel. It sounds friendly and makes me think of peanut brittle, but it is very associated with the fairytale. In some accents, it sounds soft and in others it sounds more guttural.
Greta is nice enough. It is more stripped down and everyday compared to the other two, but is a bit dull. I'm not sure why, but Greta makes me think of an older woman who was thwarted somehow in her youth and carries that resentment. On the plus side, I imagine her as someone who gets stuff done.
