Help[Opinions] Re: Gertie
in reply to a message by Impala1729
I'm sure nobody here is surprised to hear that I love Gertie. Gertie is SO cute. I know that liking ugly names is my thing, but for a long time I was neutral on Gertrude. But I've really been coming around to it because I've realized I like both Gertie and Trudy. Normally it makes me sad when my accent softens the T in a name to a D, but "Gerdie" is still super adorable for me.
To this day it still shocks me that the name of the little girl in E.T. is Gertie. It's so unexpected! I've always wondered why they picked that name. Surely even in the late 70s Gertrude was seen as unfashionable.
