[Opinions] Re: Maud
in reply to a message by Bear
Lol, once again, Bear, you never fail to do wonders to cater to my fancies of old-fashioned name combos and royal references. :)Let's see...I adore:Maud Beatrice
Maud Eugenia
Maud Theodora
Maud Prudence
Maud Eloise
Maud Olympia (one of my closet-favourite names)
Maud Augusta
Maud Frances (this one made me do a double-take, lol. Very nice.)
Maud AureliaHmmm... Old English reference... Are you referring to the Stephanie who married William of Burgundy? That's the only Old English reference I can think of at the moment. I think she lived sometime around 1200? Maybe a little earlier? _____

Glad you liked them!The Maud Stephanie reference is difficult. Matilda (sometimes called Maud) and her cousin Stephen vied for the English throne one generation after William the Conqueror (1066). Puting the warring cousins together was just a bad joke on my part. I never knew there was a real Princess Stephanie. You're knowledge is more detailed than mine. Fun!

Wow, I never thought of Matilda and Stephen! It wasn't a bad joke at all. :) It's quite funny now that I've figured out the Maud Stephanie reference. :) I'm going to have to do a bit of research to catch up.As for the other Stephanie who married William of Burgundy, she also had a daughter named Maud. I thought she was the one to whom you were referring. But I'm quite tickled that you referenced the warring cousins, lol. I learn something new every day._____
