I love
Maude and
Maud, although I prefer the
Maude spelling because it looks more complete. It's one of those vintage names that is definitely ready for a comeback. And the nickname
Maudie is adorable. I might even go full medieval and suggest
Maude as a short form of
Matilda...
LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
-
Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
