Maude

[xxoverworkedandanxiousxx]

My great grandma was called Maud and I always thought what an awful old name until the last few months and I’ve completely fallen in love with it!!

currently like;

Maude Elizabeth
Maude Penelope
Maude Vivienne
Maude Jacqueline
Maude Isabelle

I absolutely love old fashioned names 😅

what do you think

Adore it - without the ‘e’.

I’m with you! It’s the name of a great great grandmother and I thought it was awful when I was younger, but now I really like it. My pick would be Maude Elizabeth.

Loved it for both DD’s and was overruled by DH 😑

Really nice, unusual name these days. But not unusual in that its a hard to pronounce name, just rarely heard. Simple and classic! And a nice tribute to your family.
I suppose it might get shortened to 'Mo,' when she gets a bit older.

Agree

Oh I love it without the ‘e’! Looks much more modern and less frumpy.

I similarly used to think it was an ugly, frumpy name (along the same vein as Edith, Nancy, Blythe - which I love now too!)
I do absolutely love it now (which seemingly a lot of people feel too, which might see it become really popular- depends if that bothers you!)

Maude Elizabeth is my favourite from your list - it’s beautiful!

I do love Maud, but without e

I like Maud.

Agree with the above that is lovely, without the E

I'd go Maud Elizabeth
Maud Vivienne would be 2nd choice

Nah, not keen. Too similar to Mould

Each to their own but I still think what an awful old name.
Makes me think of Maudlin.

I worked with a Maude who was in her late 80s she used to throw her glasses case at new staff who accidentally used her legal name, as she spent her whole life calling herself Jenny. She said Maude was dour and ugly and didn't suit her. I don't think she was wrong.

I’d use it with the E if that’s how your Great Grandma spelt it (that’s the point of honouring family). Very retro/hipster cool in the style of Edith, Sybil etc. Maude Isabelle sounds lovely (Isabelle is a nice contrast to Maude as it’s quite frilly/pretty and a bit more classic sounding as well as popular).

I really like Maud Penelope
Sort of puts a younger spin on it.

I like them all tbh, I really like Maud.
Personally I would go with Maude, looks prettier.

My grandmother was called Maud (no e!) and when I was a child I thought it was the weirdest and most horrible name ever. Sort of like Mud but worse?

Now though, I think it's really cool - Maeve is a similar thing and now I love that name too. My daughter has one of these 'old lady' names and I think they have really come back around to being cool and a bit edgy. I can picture a teenage Maud now perfectly, whereas when I was young I would have been mortified to be called that. It's weird but I'd embrace it!

No

It's old-fashioned but in the same way as Ethel, Doris, Gladys, and Edna

Beautiful name. Elizabeth sounds lovely with it.

I absolutely love it! Only to be expected….

Sorry but I can’t bring myself to like it - it’s old fashioned and ugly to me (and I usually adore vintage chic names!)

Agree with @Moreteaandchocolate Not a nice name IMO. With or without an E on the end! I would never foist this name on a daughter!

It's never done ME any harm 😋

Dreadful. Sounds like someone retching.

Not a fan

I am not a fan either. It’s brutal especially without the ‘e’.
