Re: Bertha vs Gertrude
in reply to a message by Olwen
Gertrude.
If I were allowed the French pronounciation, it would be quite acceptable. But even if not, I don't dislike the name.
My grade 3 teacher was named Gertrude, though of course we called her Miss Lastname. she was a tall thin woman,gentle, but kept good discipline.(a class of 50 eight year olds).and that's the year I learned to read, finally.
So, I have a fondness for the name of Gertrude.
