I want to like it, especially since I used to know a lovely
Gertrude, but I just don't like the sound of it. I also don't care for the nicknames
Gertie and
Trudy, so that doesn't help much. I don't see it really coming back soon. It doesn't sound similar to names that are currently in fashion, but then again, perhaps it will become more popular amongst hipsters who tend to gravitate towards the "uncool" for the sake of being ironic. I don't see it becoming popular outside of hipster circles, though.
