Comments for the name Maude

There was a T.V. show named "Maude." Bea Arthur played the title role.

Ruth Gordon's character in the movie "Harold and Maude."

Maude Flanders was Ned Flanders' wife on The Simpsons. She died after being hit with a barrage of T-shirts.

Would you believe this was my great grandfather's name?!

Mildred Hubble's best friend in 'The Worst Witch'.

I never thought I would, but I am starting to like this name. I would only use it as a middle name though because otherwise I don't think my child would ever forgive me. Actually, I think I may just reserve it for the 'At one time I was thinking of calling you' stories that parents always tell their children.

In the movie The Big Lebowski, Maude Lebowski (played by Julianne Moore) was the title character's estranged, feminist-artist daughter.

Maude Apatow is the daughter of Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann. She appears in the films Knocked Up and Funny People, playing Mann's child in both films.

Much more feminine looking than Maud.

This name sounds stupid. It's not a good name for a person or a pet. How could someone consider this name? It's a bad choice.

It's not likely a name I'd choose for any of my children but it does have a certain charm to it. I have an outdoor kitty I named Maude - named for Judd Apatow's daughter after IMDbing "Knocked Up".

The name is used for the titular character in the Christina Rossetti poem, "Maude Clare".
