Comments for the name Maud

This is the M in writer L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables), her name was Lucy Maud. Maud Adams is the Swedish/American model turned James Bond girl.

It sort of has a Maudlin ring to it.

I like it a lot. There was a Queen/Empress of England named Maud, or Mathilda. Some call her Maud and some Mathilda.
Maud was also the queen of Norway from 1905. She was something like the granddaughter or great granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England. ;)

Maud Moonshine is the name of a character in the Worst Witch.

It kind of reminds me of "mud".

Three-year-old Maud Angelica Behn is the 5th in succession to the Norwegian throne. I love her name!

If anyone is called Maud, apparently I am your female "son".

Maud Hart Lovelace was the author of the Betsy-Tacy series of books set in turn-of-the-century Mankato, MN. I personally prefer the spelling Maude.

It just sounds like a name for an old woman at this stage, very old-fashioned, and not very pretty. The sound of it with the long 'o' sound just isn't very pleasant.

Very old and boring.

I think it's gorgeous! It looks pretty, sounds pretty, and seems so modern and cool!

How charming! Maud is classically feminine and darling. A wonderful alternative to the horrid 'Madison' for a girl born today.

In the legend of the Mordiford wyvern, Maud is a little girl who raises a wyvern as a pet. When the wyvern reaches adulthood, he begins to terrorize the village of Mordiford--Maud is the only person safe from him. Eventually he is slayed, which left Maud heartbroken.

It reminds me of old, Hollywood glamour. It's nice, but kind of a guilty pleasure for me.

I love this name and agree that it is definitely a guilty pleasure. Everyone I've told so far have either laughed or said 'WTF?'

I had a great-grandmother named Maud Mary. I'm not crazy about Maud on it's own, but I like how those two go together.

Maud seems like the kind of name for a spunky, out-spoken girl. It's tough but sweet.
