I really want to like Maud/e...it fits in with names I usually like- short, old fashioned, kind of spunky, uncomplicated and not frilly (very much like
Ruby,
Edith,
Rose,
Mae,
Blythe etc that usually make my top 10).
But I just can't like it. I think its the drone of the middle sound. I don't know. I just don't find it attractive or 'fresh' sounding. I prefer it spelt
Maude to
Maud though.
