Help[Opinions] Re: Gertie
in reply to a message by Olwen
I don't really like it; -ert- isn't a nice sound to me. I can see how it seems sweet though; it reminds me of Greta which also seems sweet. I'd rather see it as a nickname.
If you didn't like Gertrude, I could also see it working as a nickname for Gilberta (et al), maybe Gretchen, and possibly any Margaret-related name where the 'gret' sound is broken up [like Marguerite or Margareta].
My main (only, I think) association with it is that it's Arnold's grandma's name
