Thoughts on Maud / Maude?

DH hates it, but I adore it. It's pretty and delicate to my ear, so lovely for a baby but sensible for an adult.

We have a Bess at the moment, and I like 'vintage' names.

So, old lady chic, or old lady eeeek?!

Love it and I do know a Maude who is 15 years old - it's just gorgeous and dignified and perfect for a tiny baby to an old lady!

Maude and Bess together are beautiful

So, old lady chic, or old lady eeeek Grin

My gran was a Maud! She was a tiny fierce lady, not granny like at all but fab :)

latter I'm afraid.

Rita, Sadie, Edith, Mabel, Hetty or Elsie are all far more appealing.
