Thoughts on Bertha

[Godwits]

nickname Bertie, Thea, Bess?

You could hallways call her Tracey for short.

Black Pudding Bertha was definitely not Vegan

Always!

Unless your surname is Tydfil and it's a homage to one of my favourite MN user names, it's a no.

You did well OP but the "3rd generation vegan" stuff gave the game away

You think the current converts to veganism invented it? Some of us have been walking the walk for generations.

@OVienna I think she was who she said she was! Perfectly nice, just a bit weird she invited herself to stay. Like something out of a Mr Men book.

Bertha is bovine, slightly menacing, and utterly charmless OP. Just stop!! Although, thanks for the entertaining thread.

@Godwits

Mabel obvs! Richard Madeley is a perfect lyacceptable TV and radio host and a jolly good husband to Judy.

Hahahahahaha

Bertha Tydfil . Fucking hell I'm crying now! This thread is brilliant. And I thought it couldn't get any funnier after the 3rd generation vegan comment 🤣

Lol @ Big Suze

Awful, sorry

God no, why would anyone do that to a child?

@Godwits

What about Bertha on bc but nn Bethany which can be shortened to Beth or Anny?

I actually really like this idea! Some other ideas for pretty nicknames for Bertha -

Amelia
Jessica
Rose
Maria
Lara

I like your way of thinking, Kanaloa

So Bertha on the bc but have her be known as Amelia or Jessica (Jess or Sica).

@Godwits

Oh and there's no chance she'll be big Bertha because our family are slim (third generation vegans) and athletic of build. Athletic like long distance runners who do Pilates.

Don’t count your (roast) chickens OP.

A life of being teased or hating her name could quickly lead to comfort eating on a grand scale, and carnivorous comfort eating to boot, in rebellion against the vegan dynasty who named her Bertha!

Yeah, Bertha on the bc but known as Jessica, nickname Jessie is what I would do. Sure it won’t be hard to explain, my youngest is Ethel known as Rosamund with the nickname Olivia.

Do away with the Bertha Certificate and call her Samey Namey Amy Mae.

I'm sure it's been said already but I'd give that one a wide berth personally. Dadadum tscchh, I'm here all week.

@piratehugs

This thread is brilliant. The only Bertha I've met turned up cheerfully on our doorstep with a suitcase one day, claiming to be a friend of a relative in Australia. She stayed a week. Never heard of her before or since.

This actually made me laugh out loud

What about Navy-Lee? That one has really grown in me.

@OVienna

What about Navy-Lee? That one has really grown in me.

I remember that one! It was a while before I realised it was a BOY she was talking about🤣

No no no
What about:
Bea
Thea
Bess
Bessie
Betsy
Bryony

This is a great thread 👏

Wasn't it a girl???.

Navy-lee that is.
