Help[Opinions] Re: Maud
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
I love the name Maud, a variant of Matilda by the way. Since Queen Alexandra's dd was Maud (or Maude?) they work very well together in my mind. Hmm, let's see what else might work:
Maud Frances
Maud Ursula
Maud Alice
Maud Imelda
Maud Edith
Maud Augusta
Maud Philippa
Maud Olympia
Maud Octavia
Maud Louisa
Maud Eloise
Maud Leonie
Maud Lucretia
Maud Honoria
Maud Letitia
Maud Calpurnia
Maud Drusilla
Maud Cornelia
Maud Aurelia
Maud Astraea
Maud Sylvia
Maud Gwendolen
Maud Rowena
Maud Angharad
Maud Eudoxia
Maud Eugenia
Maud Euphemia
Maud Eustacia
Maud Prudence
Maud Ingrid
Maud Gertrude
Maud Adelheid
Maud Josephine
Maud Ghislaine
Maud Hortense
Maud Bernadette
Maud Beatrice
Maud Theodora
Maud Agatha
Maud Benedicta
And just to be contrary, how about Maud Stephanie? Let's see if you can guess the (Old English) royal reference there. :-)

Lol, once again, Bear, you never fail to do wonders to cater to my fancies of old-fashioned name combos and royal references. :)
Let's see...
I adore:
Maud Beatrice
Maud Eugenia
Maud Theodora
Maud Prudence
Maud Eloise
Maud Olympia (one of my closet-favourite names)
Maud Augusta
Maud Frances (this one made me do a double-take, lol. Very nice.)
Maud Aurelia
Hmmm... Old English reference... Are you referring to the Stephanie who married William of Burgundy? That's the only Old English reference I can think of at the moment. I think she lived sometime around 1200? Maybe a little earlier?

Glad you liked them!
The Maud Stephanie reference is difficult.
Matilda (sometimes called Maud) and her cousin Stephen vied for the English throne one generation after William the Conqueror (1066). Puting the warring cousins together was just a bad joke on my part.
I never knew there was a real Princess Stephanie. You're knowledge is more detailed than mine. Fun!

Wow, I never thought of Matilda and Stephen! It wasn't a bad joke at all. :) It's quite funny now that I've figured out the Maud Stephanie reference. :) I'm going to have to do a bit of research to catch up.
As for the other Stephanie who married William of Burgundy, she also had a daughter named Maud. I thought she was the one to whom you were referring. But I'm quite tickled that you referenced the warring cousins, lol. I learn something new every day.
