原Bertha Gifford was a farmwife in rural Catawissa, Missouri during the early 1900s who was accused of murdering 17 members of the local community. Some consider her to be America's third female serial killer, behind Lydia Sherman and Jane Toppan.
原I think Bertha is a grand name. Not only beautiful, but grandiose, impressive and sophisticated. I love how it sounds in English, German, French and Spanish. It is an upper class name, difficult to be appreciated by the commoners. (i.e. Bertha is a distinguished name. But Jennifer, for example, is exactly the opposite, vulgar and threshed)
I have known three Berthas. Neither of them are fat and two of them are very pretty women. The meaning of the name is "intelligent" which adds to the beauty of the name.

我不讨厌声音，但它太老了，我无法想象戏弄。
原I don't hate the sound but it's too old fashioned and I can't imagine the teasing.
原My name is Berta and I pronounce it Behr-ta. I never knew that Germans pronounced it that way, and a like the way it sounds. I was named after my grandmother and I never thought of it as an ugly name until I was growing up and I would hear people pronounce it as Ber-tha or Berda. I started feeling bad about that name and feeling bad about myself because of it. I am not overweight and it's sad the way a name can really affect someone's perception of that person. For the people who do not like that name that is ok. It is not the most beautiful name but I would like people to not judge someone based on a name. You can have the most beautiful name in the world but if you are ugly on the inside then it doesn't really make up for it. So a name is just a name and that's what i'll keep telling myself. My name does not define me. What I do and how I treat people defines me.
原Bertha is my name and I personally think it's a great name... I am pretty sure that the people who are saying it's a bad name they are are not Berthas. Besides, for your own information I am not fat and I am Bertha and I am practically in love with and very proud of my name.

我认为Bertha是一个迷人和优雅的名字与许多美妙的复古风格。 :)
原I think Bertha is a charming and classy name with plenty of wonderful vintage flair. :)
原I tried to like this name, I really did, but I just don't think the English pronunciation of the name sounds attractive what so ever. Whenever I hear this name I picture a VERY overweight woman barreling down the street, or someone yelling "I HAVE GIVEN BIRTH!". My mum and I much prefer the Deutsch pronunciation of the name, but only because that is how my nanny pronounces her name. The name has a wonderful meaning, but I would NEVER name my child this, maybe for a middle name, but never a first name.
原This name is exponentially more attractive in any other European language where it's pronounced "BEHR-ta". It's a shame it sounds so off-setting and harsh in English, because this name has such a strong meaning/background.

Bertha也是Charlemagne的女儿之一，以她的祖母命名。
原Bertha was also one of Charlemagne's daughters, named after her grandmother.
原This is one of my all-time favorite girl names, and I was fully 18 before I realized that the general perception of it is very negative. My own perception of it was shaped by two sources: L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, and Barbara Willard's Son of Charlemagne. -In Anne of Green Gables it is the name of Anne Shirley's mother and she refers to it as a lovely name. -In Anne of the Island, Bertha Shirley is described as having speaking eyes and writing letters that embodied her charming personality. -In Rilla of Ingleside, Anne's youngest, Bertha Marilla considers her first name to be beautiful and dignified. -In the children's book Son of Charlemagne, Bertha is the name of one of Charlemagne's daughters. She is the lovely, sweet, vivacious and adorable one who risks angering her father to marry the man she loves. Growing up with these positive images of the name, I developed a mental picture of a tall, reed-slim, elegant girl with big, luminous eyes and a Mona Lisa smile. Even the sound of it is beautiful I think, in either pronunciation, gentle, without any sharp edges. The English pronunciation is like a soft, low sigh, and the German one is just so musical! I would use this as a middle name for my daughter, so that she doesn't have to suffer from the generally negative view of this name.

原I love the German pronunciation of this name, but in America it just sounds awful! It's so sad that the English language butchers the name Bertha like it does. But in Germany, es ist toll. ;)
原My late mother, who would be in her 90's, was named Bertha, as were at least 4 of her friends, and to a woman, they loathed it. But names have fashions, and though "Bertha" sounds fat, old, butch and nasty to our ears, in France Berthe.

原I do not like this name at all, neither pronunciation - German or English - sounds pretty to me. My mother always said this was a name for a cow. I think it conjures up an image of an old, overweight woman with curled hair who devotes her life to baking. Not the best image.

原Why does Bertha sound so awful? Because we aren't pronouncing it correctly, that's why! "BER-ta" sounds much better than "BUR-tha", doesn't it? Why do English speakers slur their vowels?
