Yes? No? Thoughts? Too strongly associated with Hanson?

i knew a v beautiful Greta at college. Gretal is a bit much.

Not keen. I like Greta a lot, and Gretchen is better than Gretel if you like super-clunky-cool. Or Liesel?

No, sorry. It sounds harsh to me.

I think it is really pretty. first thought is Hansel but once people know her that will stop. I think Gretel and Greta are lovely. Wish I had thought of them now!

Makes me think of Hansel and Gretel and the littlest Von Trapp.

But I don't dislike it.

I prefer Greta, however. It has the old Hollywood charm, thanks to Greta Garbo.

Agree, Greta is prettier. Also Gretel reminds me of Grendel.

I've always loved Gretchen.

Gretel does just make me think Hansel tbh.
