[Opinions] Re: Bertha
It’s not a particularly nice name but not as awful as some people make it out to be sometimes.I’ve met some Blerta, that’s a ugly-ass name IMO."We have met the enemy and he is us" Walt Kelly

Dang, Blerta is hideous.

Yes, “Blerta” might sound unpleasant to English speakers, but I’m sure it’s lovely or inoffensive to Albanian ears.

I'm sure it is, and has a pretty meaning, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to my ears.

Yes, I immediately think of the verb “blurt.”

I had no idea Blerta was a real name. I heard it in an SNL sketch and I thought they made it up just for that (unfortunate) character. Blerta is definitely a no. Gracious goodness. What a name.

It’s Albanian, a lot of “Bl” names, I came across Bledar which is even worse. I’m guessing different sounds make a different impression in different languages.
