Re: Annegret

I don't find the "gret" sound attractive at all, so it's not my style.

That's interesting. I don't care for the "gret" sound at the end of a name, but I do like names that begin with the sound (Greta, Gretel)...

I don't like the -gret sound eitherIt reminds me of regret, but I understand how one could like the name.The only time I like it is with Margaret, but it might be because it's broken up with the a.

Funny, the "gret" part in Annegret is what draws me to the name. It's another name that sounds like a species of bird, which I always find alluring. Another name that does that for me is Janet.

Janet doesn't bother me as much, though I find it dated (probably just because my associations with women named Janet).Margaret appeals to me more than Annegret, which is strange because it still has the same off-putting "gret" sound, and I'm not typically a fan of "Mar-" names, either... I don't know.As for the bird association, that would put me off even more as I find birds to be very intimidating, strange creatures (the movie The Birds scared the jeepers out of me as a child, and I've never felt the same about birds since).
