I think Maud is not very pretty, and sounds too harsh. Emma, Grace, and Hannah are old names, but they are quite common, and accepted.Maud sounds too old lady as well.

I adore it, and I know a child name it.

It's incredibly spunky and just beautiful. Maud Valentine is fabulous to me.

I really like Maud, but I think it looks awful without the 'e." So I like Maude. It's so sweet and would make a great middle name or first name. Personally I like Joanna Maude.

Hmmm . .. it's easier to find combos with Maud as a middle name.

I want to like it but can't...

---

I just find the sound really unappealing, plain and very old-fashioned without having any sort of vintage charm. Perhaps Maude would be a slightly nicer spelling?

---

It does have a great namesake in L.M. Montgomery, (known as Maud), who wrote the Anne of Green Gables books. Also, it was fairly fashionable in France around 10-15-20 years ago. There are a fair few lovely young girls named Maud wandering around France at the moment, which I find really weird.

Please don't do this to a baby!
Maud is horrid! I say this despite the fact my grandmother and my great-aunt both chose this name for daughters. It's such a plain, off-putting, drab, old ladyish name.
The medieval English empress Matilda was really a Maud - the name Matilda was used in official records. Matilda would be a better alternative, and has the bonus of Tilly.

---

I think it is ok. But for me personally I would put it in the middle name slot.

---

Louisa Maud would be cute. :)

Sorry, but Maud is one name that I really can't stand. I hate the sound of it and just find it rather dull, drab and ugly.

I always loved Maud it's sweet

Maud looks horribly incomplete to me, while Maude will be young even when she's killing herself at eighty years old. ;)

---

Maude Julia is the first combo that comes to mind for me. I like how Julia regains some of its stateliness in the mn spot there.

---

Maude Elise
Maude Ursula
India Maude
Maude Oriole
Daisy Maude
Maude Heloise
Maude Fiona
Maude Regina
Maude Sunflower (I just can't resist it)
Maude Lillian
Maude Virginia
Maude Gloria

---

Remove the E if necessary, since you've noted you don't care for it, but I'm afraid my fingers automatically type M-A-U-D-E. ^^;;

Array (Harold and Maude forever)

I really like Maud. It's "old" but I like it anyway. Maud can go with a lot of names. Queen Victoria had a granddaugher (Maud Charlotte Mary Victoria) and a great-granddaughter (Maud Alexandra Victoria Georgina Bertha) named this.

---

Maud Caroline
Maud Alexandra
Maud Victoria
Maud Cecilia
Maud Eleanor
Maud Elizabeth
Maud Georgina
Maud Josephine
Maud Lavinia
Maud Louisa
Maud Rosaline
Maud Theresa
Maud Penelope

No. Way too old lady-ish. Not even a nice old lady, a grumpy one. It wasn't even a good name when it was popular. Sorry. There is just nothing pretty about it.

I think it is cute. I like it either as Maud or Maude. I would pair it with something spunky but still classic.

I like it, but I prefer it spelled Maude-- that looks more complete to me. I've been pairing it with Rosalie lately, but as a middle name. I have a lot of trouble finding a nice middle name for it, but what about:

---

Maud Rosalie
Maud Noelle
Maud Lily
Maud Olivia
Maud Elizabeth
Maud Genevieve
Maud Eleanor
Maud Penelope
Maud Danica
Maud Natasha
Maud Jacqueline
Maud Nicole
Maud Rochelle
Maud Dionne
Maud Julienne
Maud Isidora
