HelpRe: Gertrude
in reply to a message by Cayden
It's alright, it's usable. It's still a normal name and I wouldn't really blink at it.
Aesthetically though, I feel like it's ugly. I don't like the sounds in it.
It's kind of a neat old name, along the same lines as Matilda or Adelaide or Millicent.
But the sound is like Bertha ... if we said BEHR-ta it'd be nice, but birth-uh doesn't sound very nice, and grrtrood doesn't sound very nice. A name that should have been modernized along with English. Kertruda, even Ketruda.
Trudy is doable but it's like Judy or Debbie, has an outmoded mediocre feeling at this time.
