DH’s grandmothers middle name is [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] and she recently told me how much she loves it. I’ve name crushed [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] for some time but DH won’t get on board with [name_f]Gert[/name_f] in the first name slot. Any ideas?
Here is our name list so you have an idea of our naming style:
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] ** our number one girl name
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
Boys:
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] would be adorable!
[name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] isn’t my style, but I like that it honours someone special. [name_f]Greta[/name_f] would be a great FN - honours [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] and gets in the name [name_f]Etta[/name_f] which you like. Plus, [name_f]Greta[/name_f] is the word great with some letters moved around and is such a GREAT name! 
I love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Etta[/name_f], [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is meh and [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] is nice.
[name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] sounds really heavy.
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] - I won’t comment on because I can’t handle [name_f]Hattie[/name_f].
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] - really cute! Maybe too many “old” names though?
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] - [name_f]Etta[/name_f] doesn’t feel as old as [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], I think this works!
You seem to like older, shorter names. [name_m]How[/name_m] about…
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] *** I love [name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
Hopefully one of these will be right!
I love [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]! Go for it!
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Ione[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Maria[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
I think if you were to use [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] as a fn, [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] would be nice.
