Suddenly liking baby girl name Gertie

[Forfrigssake]

Love or hate it?

Not really, it sounds like nickname.

And rhymes with flirty and dirty

The only Gertie I can think of is a sewing book writing whose full name is Gretchen.

Hate it.

Sure the little girl in ET is called this?! Cute

Dirty Gertie.

Little girl in ET.

Gertrude nn Trude or Trudy would be better, IMO.

If my sister or I were being stroppy as kids, DM would say 'stop being such a Shirty Gertie'

Its cute sounding but it just conjures up a crabby old lady to me. Plus it makes me think of the poem/rhyme
." Dirty Gertie Macintosh never ever got a wash.".

It's a nn for Gertrude which I don't like.

The playground rhyming possibilities are worrying.

Don't like it, sorry

Frigs, Gretchen is beautiful, Gertie for short.

Hate it. Nothing redeemable about it at all.

I like it!

Needs to be short for something but not Gertrude.

I work with a lovely woman called Geertje. Pronounced ger-tye.

I automatically think of dirty Gertie from number 30 with Gertie but not Geertje.

Oh and Geertje is a name in itself not an abbreviation if that matters.

Gertrude is better as have more options eg Gertie and Trudy. If she gets teased at school for being Dirty Gertie she'll never forgive you!

Or Gretchen for Gertie

Is horrendous. Truly awful, as is Gretchen.

It's a common Yorkshire term ( affectionate) for the missus 'Orr old Gert'. And yeah, dirty Gerty etc. Sorry!
Gretchen is nice though

I think it's pretty awful. What about Greta?

Flirty Gertie, where I come from 😄

it's the hormones, OP. Just slap yourself a few times & find something nicer.

So bad
