Re: Gretchen
in reply to a message by Billina
I don't mind Gretchen at all. It's one of those names that started as a diminutive but due to steady use and visual dissimilarity has become its own name, separate from Margarete / Margaret. It fits in with the aesthetic of "un-pretty," strong, capable feminine names: Rachel, Sloane, Taylor, etc.
^ I actually think those could be her sisters. Brothers would likely be Hugo, Derek (or Drake), maybe Richard. Something else that's short and packs a punch.
While it's doubtful I'd ever use it myself, I don't mind seeing it in real life.
