Re: Gertrude
in reply to a message by emilylauren
It makes me think of Aunt Gertrude from the Hardy Boys books--not a bad person, but very sharp-tempered, opinionated, critical, and bossy.
I've never actually met anyone named Gertrude, so that's the overriding association I get. I also think of it as one of the stereotypical "old lady" names. I find it somewhat harsh sounding.
