Re: Gertrude
in reply to a message by Siobhan
Gertie is a great name for a whippet. There's a slight irony to it that makes it seem edgy and cute.
The name Gertrude is pretty in German. In English it's gur-trood and that's not very nice sounding. It's a strong name - I think of it as similar in style to Matilda and Irma, antique and therefore a little matronly.
