Maud

I love this name but agree it is too dated to use on its own. I like it as a middle name and 2 names I like a lot with it are Sadie Maud or Sonia Maud. I like it as an alternative to the overused Marie as a middle name. Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of the Anne books, went by Maud. I think it is because of her that I prefer it without the e on the end, which, if you know anything about the Anne books, is ironic, to say the least.

Maudlin means tearfully sentimental. Maud(e) reminds me of the color mauve, which I think is a unique, pretty shade.

Ugly and old. I've met a 20 year old called Maud and I felt so bad for her.

Pretty, but old-fashioned so I might use it as a middle name.

A little boring. I don't like it much.

Ah, Maud sounds so sweet! I think it matches very well as a middle name, but as a full name it is fine too. Vintage, beautiful and original. I love it!

Good middle name.

My brain associates it with the color mauve.

Maud sounds a lot like mud. Not a pretty name to say the least.

Maud is youthful and charming in my opinion.
This name is short and fresh with a lovely Medieval and aristocratic vibe.

I'm Maud and I act just like my name... it's sweet and cool and hey, it's not common like other names... my name is rare and I just love it.

I adore the name Maud! It's so cute and vintage! I love granny chic names! :D.

Maud is my name and I love this name. I wouldn't have wanted another one. My father chose it because he had seen a French movie entitled "Ma nuit chez Maud" 1969. I have never seen it but I know that it is about an independent woman and that's what I am. The meaning of this name is also very close to my personality.

In my opinion, Maud is THE cutest name out there. I have no clue why I adore this name so much, but it's one of my favourite names ever. I picture a kitten, and kittens just generally make things awesome.

Maud seems like the kind of name for a spunky, out-spoken girl. It's tough but sweet.

I had a great-grandmother named Maud Mary. I'm not crazy about Maud on it's own, but I like how those two go together.

I love this name and agree that it is definitely a guilty pleasure. Everyone I've told so far have either laughed or said 'WTF?'

It reminds me of old, Hollywood glamour. It's nice, but kind of a guilty pleasure for me.

How charming! Maud is classically feminine and darling. A wonderful alternative to the horrid 'Madison' for a girl born today.

I think it's gorgeous! It looks pretty, sounds pretty, and seems so modern and cool!

Very old and boring.

It just sounds like a name for an old woman at this stage, very old-fashioned, and not very pretty. The sound of it with the long 'o' sound just isn't very pleasant.

It kind of reminds me of "mud".

It sort of has a Maudlin ring to it.
