Some friends of our who are having a baby late this summer are kicking around the name Astrud. At first I thought they meant
Astrid, but no. It's Astrud, for an old musician/singer they like named Astrud
Gilberto.

I think it would be a good source for the nn
Trudie, which I think is cute, but is usually associated with
Gertrude, a name I really dislike (
Gertrude nn
Trudy is actually my mom's name -- she HATES
Gertrude too.) I don't know if that nn is something our friends are considering or not though. Probably not, knowing them.
Any opinions though, on Astrud with or without
Trudie as a nn?
