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've always been amazed at how close it sounds to "wretched" and yet people still name their daughters this.

I think it's gross.

I've known people named that, even bubbly, well-liked, well-adjusted girls and it still is a name that completely throws me off. It doesn't even sound lovely when said out loud.

I think there's a charm to it. I just can't figure out what it is. :)

And it actually fit the character of Gretchen Weiners very well on "Mean Girls". And it wasn't repulsive then.

Ugh I could never do it. But I won't rip someone who can do it.
