I think this is a rather wonderful name, although, unfortunately, vastly underused in English. I always imagine that a girl with this name would end up being a horticulturalist of sorts. :-)
I think it's less harsh-sounding than Gertrude (a name I would NEVER use), but it has the word "intrude" in it. Which is just a *mean* name to give to your child!

What a wonderful name! It has an 'old money' feel to it, which not many could pull off or understand.
I've never heard of anyone with this name, and I have to say that it makes Gertrude sound rather cute. It's got a hideous first syllable and a hideous last syllable, and the ''min'' in the middle sounds like crap with the two other syllables anyway. The name sounds like it dates back some 300 years.
