Affectionately Named Gertrude



Recently I read on article on baby names and how some names are "better" than others. Then I read the user comments where many people had a distain for a certain name. So I decided to sketch a model from a catalogue, and I'm dubbing her Gertrude, the lingerie supermodel.

  1. Ah yes, I read that article too. I have to confess that I always hated my name growing up. (Dorena) I could never buy one of those keychains or whatnot with my name on it, as was so popular at the time!

    Wonderful sketch! I used to have a duck we named Gertrude...Gertie for short!

  2. Thanks! Personally I think Dorena is beautiful. I have a difficult name too (Xiaobei, shortenend to Bei for easier ingestion) now I just make it fun :) as long as the name sounds like mine: Bie Bee Bae Bea B Bay... so on so on

  4. She looks great - and the name... well, some names really aren't easy to wear, but with her good looks she can pull it off!
