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

Sorry OP I think it's awful. It's so drab and miserable sounding.

I agree with your original view tbh. A very dated name, that I wouldn't expect a child born now to be called.

Sorry

It is a little Moaning Myrtle if I’m honest! 😬

But I can see it fits the vibe of Ediths etc that are currently being revisited and the good thing about children is they are cute so that allows them to “ warm it up” as it were. Usually once you see a name on a Dc or someone you know, you don’t think about it so critically.

One of my grannies was an Edna. An old neighbour of mine was a Clover. Sorry you dislike Maud so much. 🫤

It's not that it's old fashioned, it's that it sounds soo harsh. Maud pronounced Mod?! Like Mold without the L....

It’s probably one of the ugliest names in existence.

Horrific, sorry

Love it, particularly with Elizabeth as a middle name.

but would use the European pronunciation Mowd

That's even worse imo

I agree with this. Awful sounding name and also reminds me of someone hurling.

Sorry but I think it is awful. No pretty middle name improves it. How about Maeve? Mabel?

It was my great grans name and i used to think it was awful but as time's gone on i love it , i think it's got a moody gothic feel to it .

I’ve been howling at some of these responses 😂I definitely don’t think I’d use it but it has been very entertaining getting opinions! Thank you

Yes Mod like mod-ern.
It just sounds harsh or clumpy to me. And very close to Mud.

Maude is so beautiful, I love it!! Defo go for it

Only on this app would people love this name. It's dated and dowdy and other kids will tease a child named Maude.

She’ll hate you
Unsexy, frumpy, uncool (yet trying to be cool) - imagine being named after a desiccated relative?!
Up there with Bertha, Prudence and Mildred.
Ham and Cabbage were top 10 baby names in the 1800s but we’re not using them…..

Really?! That’s an upgrade. (Head in hands, rolls eyes)

Maude Apatow is gorgeous and carries the name so well. I also think Mabel and Maeve are gorgeous. Maybe some of the people answering here are much older and for them these names sound frumpy.

I like Maud but dislike Maeve and Mabel.

H's grandparents were called Maud and Claude.

The Welsh version of Maud is gorgeous.

Maud is lovely.

Maud Adams spring has to mind, beautiful woman.

Maud and Mildred remind me of Mold and Mildew.

Thing is though, it's different rules for Hollywood actresses or those who mingle with the upper classes. Maude down the local comprehensive is going to be crucified.
