I like the meaning. Trudy could be a nickname.

Erm… intrude being in the name is something that really stands out to me. Would not want this name, neither for myself or a child of mine.

It sounds like a name for a movie character, but it doesn’t sound good on a real person.

Ermentrude of Orleans, Queen of the Franks and wife to Holy Roman Emperor / King of West Francia, her mother was named Engeltrude. She and her husband Charles had ten children.
Ermintrude, also known as Erminethrudis, was a nun from Merovingian aristocracy, known for leaving a will that gives an example of the times. There is an Ermintrude in Terry Pratchet's novel Nation. In Georgette Heyer's mystery book, "No Wind of Blame," there is a character named Ermyntrude.
The name means: Entirely Beloved and Entire Strength. Although, through the Germanic god of war (Ermen), the name could also mean: Ermen's Maiden. Ermine, a possible root connection to the name Ermintrude; is a weasel, once known as a white mouse, and its pelts were used on royal robes and garbs. Ermine is also a stout-bodied moth that has cream or white wings with black spots, known for being a hairy caterpillar.
-- The name, which is sadly not heard today, deserves more attention by parents. A rare treasure and delight. The name offers a fuller name option, a little fusty, yet frilly and lavish, while having transcended many decades and generations. A wonderful option to put on all documentations and certifications with many familiar and short name options that range from girly to fun and quirky.
--The names has oodles of possible diminutives depending on the spelling of the full name; Irmintrude/Ermyntrude/Ermintrude: Emma, Emmy, Emmie, Immy, Imma, Irma, Ina, Inna, Ida, Trudie, Trudy, Rudy, Rudie, Ermina, Erminia, Erminie, Mina, Minnie, and Minty. Irma is traditionally pronounced EER-mah in other countries, URR-mah in English speaking countries
-- Irma was the name of April's best friend in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," and there is an Irma Pince in Harry Potter. Irma is also a character in The Adventures of Tintin. There was a radio show, a television and movie, "My Friend Irma." 40's, 50's & 60's Irma was a popular name, Trudy is much more friendly and familiar form today than Irma. Immy and Emma are quite nice options and may blend with those names of children seen in school rooms today.

This name is an inside joke of sorts with me and my friend because of how bad it is.

I think this is a rather wonderful name, although, unfortunately, vastly underused in English. I always imagine that a girl with this name would end up being a horticulturalist of sorts. :-)

I think it's less harsh-sounding than Gertrude (a name I would NEVER use), but it has the word "intrude" in it. Which is just a *mean* name to give to your child!

What a wonderful name! It has an 'old money' feel to it, which not many could pull off or understand.

I've never heard of anyone with this name, and I have to say that it makes Gertrude sound rather cute. It's got a hideous first syllable and a hideous last syllable, and the ''min'' in the middle sounds like crap with the two other syllables anyway. The name sounds like it dates back some 300 years.

Please don't hurt your child by naming them this.
