[Opinions] Re: Gertrude
I think it's an awful name, even for a very old lady. There's a reason it died out generations ago and never came back. A very good reason.
Gertie or Gert could be cute for a dog or cat, I guess. But on a person it's just gross.We don't need to set the sky on fire. A little glow will do just fine.

Can totally get this opinion! It doesn’t sound “nice” in the way that most modern names do. It’s very consonant heavy and very “heavy” in general. I like the meaning, though? “Spear of strength” is pretty awesome, especially as a feminine name.

I love the consonants - conveying such strength!
