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?

My mum used to sing a song from many, many years ago called Come into The Garden Maude.

Me too ☺️ But also love it for a baby.

My parents used to have a neighbour called Maude, in her 70s. She moved house so never see her now. Lovely name.

Maude/Maud is such a lovely name! Not too similar to Morg.

(Morgane/Morg is a lovely name, too!)

I automatically think of the girl in 'The Worst Witch' book. Absolutely loved that book as a child.

But sorry OP, the name is not my cup of tea

Sorry but I think it's awful.
I've got a horrible old lady name, one that has never been popular but I slightly prefer that to Maud.

I really love it. I prefer the Maud spelling.

I love Mavis too (after my lovely aunt). It means blackbird. I know it's not popular though.

Maude is a step too far down "ugly old lady name lane" for me, sorry. I like quite a few of those clunky, old-dear names of my great/granny's generation like Mabel, Ivy, Ayda etc. but I can't get on board with Maude, it just has no redeeming features for me. Sorry!

I know a French maud - beautiful name for a very beautiful girl!

“for that black bat, night, has flown” its Tennyson - my Nan would sing it to us
in a quavering voice, excruciating - I think it was a music hall song

Love. I know a very beautiful stylish Maud so that helps.

I absolutely love it!

I love it but spelt Maud

I really like Maud (without the e for preference) but I do think it sounds quite similar to Morg, sorry.

I LOVE it.

I wanted it but lost the battle.

Great storied name.

I love it, very chic.

Maude is nice. If you're looking for French names you may like Maelys (pronounced may-leece)

It’s not for me.
I only associate Maude as Ned Flanders wife in the Simpsons, and she’s a bit of an annoying pearl clutcher 🤣

If you are called Morg, then there will definitely be confusion as to who is being called - it's too similar to Maude.
Surely you can see it's too close to maudlin too.

Maud can just be Maudie round the house to differentiate. Or OP can be Morgane.

It's very dreary. Reminds me of women who wear elastic skirts.

I love Maude ❤️

Absolutely awful name to give a baby. It’s just so bleak and dreary.

Maëlys is one of my favourite names. It’s not pronounced Mayleece though it’s My eleece.

What about Audrey as an alternative? I think they have a similar cool elegant vibe.
