Gretchen?

[Elizalou01]

Gretchen? Or is it just my hormones!

I like Greta but may be too short with our surname.

I think I am hitting panic mode now as nothing seems quite right or if it is we can't agree.

I'm still fond of Tabitha but DH wrinkles his nose

I like Fleur but that got a resounding no on here

The more I look at Gretchen the more I think it's kind of cute. I actually quite like it.

Hi surname is Grey. I'm not doing very well am I because everyone on here said Fleur sounded like bleuuuuurgh

Greta Grey works, I think.

It's got a Greta Garbo vibe.

Gretchen would be a difficult name to have in an English speaking country.

Tabitha is a beautiful name, always loved it.

I prefer Greta, but I don't like either name with Grey, sorry.
Fleur Grey is lovely. I love Tabitha too.

I think Gretchen just looks ugly to English eyes, because of the retch, wretch association.

Though it is pronounced more with a soft "sh" sound in the middle, rather than a hard "ch". It doesn't sound harsh, imo.

My German friend says it more like "great - sh'nn"

Personally, I prefer Greta though.

I like it. "Chen" is added to words in German to make them sound cute, so to me it is an even cuter name than Greta. I love alliterative names and Gretchen Grey is awesome.
