Greta- What do you all think?

[TheBreastmilksOnMe]

I'm due end of January and I am having a girl. I really love the name Greta as it is quite unusual, but also I think on the rise. I was just wondering what the general consensus was?

I think it's quite unusual. I would go for it if you like it.

I have a wonderful friend aged 70 called Greta. I love it but she gets called Greet!!

Love it - have a very cool friend called Greta.

I LOVE it.

Really pleased to hear that you all seem to like it, but not too much I hope. Don't you all go stealing my name and making it as popular as Grace or Evie, ok?

I'm sorry, I don't like it, it sounds really harsh! Sorry.

i really like it, however i live in south east london and can just imagine that most people would say it without the t, which makes it not so nice.

the only person I know is an old lady too, gretttaaaah, no not one for me

I think I like it

I think it sounds harsh too, bit Germanic and hard!!!

Lovely, and it will never be in the top ten.

sorry, really don't like it. very harsh and too much like gertrude and gretchen
how about rita?

absolutely love it - also really like Marta

Fabulous name.

Rita???

Love Greta.

Is it short for Gretal - as in Hansel and ?

Just makes me think of the Sound of Music. At least it's not Liesel!

Very Austrian

i love it. really wanted it for DD but my hubby was against it :-(

Gorgeous. Love it.

LOVE it. BUt won't steal it. I'd pronounce it Gr-eh-ta not gr-ee-ta, but I am Welsh. :)

Gorgeous. I used to have a horse called Allegreta, known as Greta for short, and the DC of our Pony Club was also called Greta.

So maybe not so unusual in horsy circles circa 1990

But beware of cheese-greta.

I like it. I think its cute. hmmm will it be as good when she's grown up? yes I think so.

I have a good friend called Gretel. She's called Greta often - lovely names. She's a lovely person so it matters not what her name is... She could make any name gorgeous.
