I love love love Gertrude. It's one of my favourite names. So strong and heavy and pretty. I agree with Tippins that it's an extremely sexy name.
My name-dream family right now is two girls named Gertrude and Alwilda, but I am slightly worried they'd hate me forever.
It's going to take a long time to come back, but I think after a while, heavy Germanic names and consonant clusters will be in again, and Gertrude will be somewhere on the charts.
