It does kind of grow on you. I taught an art class to a little girl named Greta. I like it a lot now.

I like the name Greta, but I don't know if I would consider using it. Maybe if I lived in another country. Two things come to mind when I hear the name: regret and granola... I get the regret part but granola?! I still don't know why I think of granola.
