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

Greta and Gretel are pretty.

Gretchen has to be the ugliest collection of syllables ever!

Terrible. Don't do it.

I prefer Greta.

Greta and gretel are lovely
Don't like gretchen it reminds me of gretchen wieners from mean girls and sounds like wretching/wretched

I love Greta, somehow much softer than Gretel. My youngest daughter won't let me use the name Gretel when I read Hansel & Gretel. She actually covers her ears when I say it, finding it too harsh sounding. She asks me to call the character Rose instead.

Greta is lovely. Wish I'd thought of it!

Gretel is ok but a bit harsh sounding and too reminiscent of Hansel for me.

Gretchen is just awful... reminds me of the word retching Shock
