Choosing this name for our daughter, but unsure which spelling is best.

my lg (12 weeks, born 25/11/24) is a Maud! Without the e…. I think it is stronger without the e!

Maud. No need for a silent 'e', seems to be mostly Americans who do it.

Not my cup of tea at all, I'm afraid. It's an ugly name whichever way you spell it.

I had a great aunt with the name. She absolutely hated it.

Maud. Love it.

I don't really like it, with either spelling (it's the sound more than anything that I don't like), but if I did like it, I think I would prefer the Maud spelling. It looks more traditional and less fussy.
