Two Syllable Names for Girls

Japanese feminist Raicho Hiratsuka chose the name Raicho for herself - no doubt because of its fabulously meaning. As a journalist and publisher, Raicho fought for the rights of working class women in Japan’s textile industry and eschewed conventional domesticity, openly living with a lover and having her children out of wedlock. Thunderbirds are GO indeed!

The form of Gertrude found in German and much of Scandinavia.

Commonly heard in Israel, but a rare choice elsewhere.
