Opinions on Gretchen? Possible shortening Greta

OP posts:

Don't like the Retch sound.

Much prefer Greta.

It's harsh looking & sounding, and as others have said I don't like the 'retch' bit in the middle. Greta is equally hard but not quite as ugly as Gretchen. Sorry.

Think of real housewives gretchen weirdly.

Much prefer gretta or grettal

Remember the classic Judy Blume book ‘ Are you there God it’s me Margaret ‘- one of her friends was called this! I don’t hate it, but nor do I love it.

Sorry. When I was a teen and dabbling with smoking pot anyone who took more than their share on their turn was dubbed a 'Greedy Gretchen'. Otherwise I think it's a lovely name.

I love Gretchen.
And Greta.
