I was wondering what everyone thinks of the name Gretchen. What kind image does it conjure up? What kind of person do you think of? I can't decide whether I like or not. In a weird way it's a name that sort of contradicts itself in my head. It's strong on the one hand and a bit snappy on the other. Hmm. What do you think?

I think it's a really ugly name.

Now, when I was 12 I babysat for a girl named Gretchen and she was a bitch..I know that's a horrible thing to say about a child but she was honestly the worst child I've ever known. She would openly defy me and then when her mom got home she made it seem like I just let her do it. She also just said really mean things to me. It was horrible.

My sister has a friend named Gretchen who is soooo nice and really funny.

So, it conjures up mixed things for me. Purely the name itself is really awful sounding though, imo.

I babysat a kid like that once. I will never name my daughter Emily for it.

Thanks for the opinion :)
