Middle name for Gertrude
(104 Posts)I’m expecting a baby girl soon and quite like the name Gertrude. The only problem is that I can’t find a middle name that suits it. Please help!
Anna.
Lucy
Lily

I think you need something quite short and light to balance Gertrude.
Elizabeth
Annabel
Isobel
Dorothy
Victoria
Btw Gertrude is a lovely name, and good luck with the pregnancy
Any family names?
I love Gertrude, that was my Great Aunt's name!
Gertrude Lily was her name.
Gertie for short.
Fabulous!
Keep it short, something like Ella
Gertrude - that's a big name. are you sure?
Choose carefully so she can use it if she decides she doesn't like Gertrude. Which she probably will. Gertrude - honestly, what on earth are you thinking?

I hope you can afford to send her to private school with Betty and Wilfred or she'll probably be laughed at. Kids are not as nice as we'd like them to be
Definitely something short but I'd really reconsider Gertrude. Im not trying to be mean in any way but it's kind of an ugly looking name if that makes any sense. I'm off to hide now

don’t call your beautiful DD Gertrude. It is not a nice name
Can be shortened to Trudy/Trude. A lovely unusual name!
I like Anna/Hannah or Joy for a middle name.
