HelpDoes ANYONE besides me hate Maud(e)?!
in reply to a message by Melania
I cannot STAND the names Maud or Maude. They're frumpy, clunky, and I always think "Maud the Fraud." Am I the only one here who thinks this?!
Iris, on the other hand, is lovely and classy. Two thumbs up.

Thank you!
Sometimes I feel like the only person on here who doesn't love just any old ancient name. Some are ugly. This is one of them.

Yes!
I think Maud(e) is horrible. It's ugly, clunky, downtrodden and...ew. Iris, however, is really lovely.

Maud sound like the German word for "murder" so I dislike it

I avoid that
by using the Hebrew pronunciation ee-REES. I think it's even lovelier than EYE-riss, although I do like that as well.

Me, me!
I agree with what you said. And there's nothing pleasant-sounding about it whatsoever. I like Iris, though.
