I like it without the E, but in [name_m]French[/name_m] it’s pronounced more like mode, so maybe the e helps with that? It’s similar to [name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Ann[/name_f]-- they both have their place.

I like [name_f]Maude[/name_f]. It seems more complete.

I much prefer [name_f]Maud[/name_f]. The e of [name_f]Maude[/name_f] seems superfluous to me, somehow.

I prefer [name_f]Maud[/name_f]. The e in [name_f]Maude[/name_f] seems unnecessary to me.

I prefer [name_f]Maud[/name_f], my grandma’s name <3 I don’t understand the point in the e, for anyone who doesn’t know the name (which I think will be quite a lot outside of nameberry) it just adds pronunication complications.

I much prefer [name_f]Maud[/name_f], the e of [name_f]Maude[/name_f] seems a little unnecessary and I think [name_f]Maud[/name_f] just looks nicer.

I prefer [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Maud[/name_f] looks stunted.
