HelpRe: Bertha
in reply to a message by A
I've never cared for the sound of Bertha (the German pronunciation is somewhat better - my dad had a Tante Berthe), and "Big Bertha" has kind of ruined it for me. Birdie is lovely and the best nn I can think of deriving from Bertha. I think if I knew a Birdie, I'd get a little dose of happy every time I said her name.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
