There’s a character on my little pony called maud, she’s very boring, talks in a monotone and has a pet rock.

I like Mary Maud Lastname!

FolkSongSweet · 24/09/2020 19:59

Wow Maud is truly marmite! I think of a little Maud as very determined and serious - I think it’s cool. Mary is more cool and classic. Love them both and can’t decide!

Mary, Maud is awful

I know 2 Mauds. They are both brilliant people. It's a lovely name.

SallySeven · 24/09/2020 20:06

Mary

missmouse101 · 24/09/2020 20:08

Op are you serious? They're both awful! Shock

BillyAndTheSillies · 24/09/2020 20:08

Mary over Maud 110%.

Scoobidoo · 24/09/2020 20:09

I like them both but Maud is lovely

SallySeven · 24/09/2020 20:09

I like Mary.

NataliaOsipova · 24/09/2020 20:10

Mary.

MikeUniformMike · 24/09/2020 20:12

Mary.
Maud is ok though.

Really?! I can see that Maud isn’t to everyone’s taste but what is wrong with Mary? It’s a totally classic name. I like it because it’s not common now but everyone will recognise it.

Mary is lovely! Not a fan of Maud at all.

dollypartonscoat · 24/09/2020 20:16

God not Maud. The world has gone fucking mad!

DramaAlpaca · 24/09/2020 20:16

I love Mary.

As for Maud, well I'm not too sure. It looks nicer spelled Maude, less harsh.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 24/09/2020 20:16

I think Mary is lovely. Maud is...not.

GirlCalledJames · 24/09/2020 20:24

Also came to say use both, Mary Maud sounds great.

Brighterthansunflowers · 24/09/2020 20:26

Definitely Mary

Flanders?

elfran · 24/09/2020 21:23

I truly love them both, you can't go wrong. Slight preference for Maud (though I prefer Maude spelling) because it's a bit "cooler" to me, but Mary is 100% due for a comeback.

missmouse101 · 24/09/2020 22:15

Mary's ok on an eighty year old.

Firebird83 · 24/09/2020 22:36

Mary, but both are great!

QuentinInQuarantino · 24/09/2020 22:43

A little outing but the most popular girls in my school were Mary and Maudie!

Tillygetsit · 24/09/2020 22:47

Mary is good. Maude most definitely is not.
