Maude

[applemelons]

Expecting first baby, a daughter.
Husband is very keen on Maude (also open to Maud). My name is Morgane and I am often called Morg, worried it might sound too similar. Other than that I like it. Thoughts?

Love it - she might be called Maudie by some.

Love it.. but l had a cat called Maude.

I love it. I only o ow a French Maude though so hear it in a Parisian accent.

I know an English Maude, she is lovely and nobody calls her anything else. It is one syllable so why would they make it longer?

Ooh I can’t bring myself to like Maude / Maud - sorry - it’s still very dowdy old lady to me - in a comical way. Not even sure if it would grow on me!

I like it. Very Victorian.

(i am also a Miss Silver fan)

No it is very dated. I was named after a 70’s singer which I hate my Dad loved her.

Here is a clue

One of my friends has always loved the name Maud. I used to dislike it, but it’s really grown on me!

Please no…
Maude as it is is lovely

Maude is lovely.

I cannot read or say it with out automatically thinking maudlin so it wouldn't be for me. It just has a negative connotation in my mind.

It makes me think of Bea Arthur which isn’t a bad thing really!

@applemelons horrible name!!

Lovely name

I also know a French Maud, she's very cool and carefree and stylish, so it doesn't have any 'old lady' connotations to me.

Dislike very much - sounds dowdy, frumpy and grey, and too much like maudlin. Certainly don't use Lyn as a middle name!

Love it! I know a very small, very lovely one.

Sorry, it sounds like morgue!

I love it. I had a Great Auntie Maud who was an absolute hoot. Smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish and let me stay up till gone midnight when I stayed over at my Grannies. They’d wash each others hair and cackle away. I thinks it’s beyond Old Granny now and time for a revival.

Her best friends called her Maudie but not all the time, just when being affectionate

Awful

Awful name

I love it.

It just makes me think of a thin lipped, miserable person for some reason. To me it is a completely joyless name.

I love it. Very stylish.

Gorgeous name.
