I know, I know, talking about names like Gertrude and Maud is far from unusual and the answers are always 50% "this is hideous and ought not be used" and 50% "this is a scrumptious name and anyone who doesn't admire it is pedestrian", so I shan't ask your opinion on them. But what I will ask is:
a) what middle names would you pair them with?
b) what first names would you pair them with?
c) which of the two do you prefer?
d) Maud or Maude?
e) Gertrude "Gertie" or Gertrude "Trudy"?
f) if you heard about two sisters named Gertrude and Maud (of any age), which one would you assume is older? Be it because the name feels more mature or just a hunch.

Thanks!
