3 sisters named Gertrude, Silence &...?

What pops into your head? What springs to mind?

Background: Gertrude and Silence are my top 2, but I’m getting a Weird Sisters vibe, so obviously I need a 3rd name to complete the set. I’ve got a few ideas myself (which I’ll probably do a poll on at some point), but I thought it’d be interesting to see what other people come up with. There are no limits and weird is welcome! Thanks in advance! :smiley:

Edit: Thanks all!

I also thought of [name_f]Prudence[/name_f], but it’s almost like a combination of the sounds of the other two.

I always think of [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] and [name_f]Mildred[/name_f] together. [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f], [name_f]Silence[/name_f] and [name_f]Mildred[/name_f].

And seconding Hepzibah/Hephzibah!

Question: Why [name_f]Silence[/name_f]?

Originally I wasn’t either. But I just recently finished reading The Terror and the character ‘Lady Silence’ won me over. Still, I think my husband agrees with you! :laughing:

[name_f]Silence[/name_f] is a name I’d expect to come out of [name_m]Gilead[/name_m]! I’m all for unique names but this is awful.

Question: is this supposed to be naming actual children? I would rethink [name_f]Silence[/name_f] if that’s the case.

Nope. I just like names. :slightly_smiling_face:

[name_f]Prudence[/name_f] … I think because it uses the sounds from each of these names.

[name_f]Silence[/name_f] to me is a really anti feminist “virtue” name … Makes me think of people who think women should be silent! I think it is possibly the most off-putting name I’ve seen (really sorry if this offends, but that is the vibe I get).
