    If the girl’s cute, you never mind the name.

    she probably goes by ‘Gertie’ which is a cool name.

    Interesting name, but Nate is obviously ruining a good chance for himself.

    I think we all want Nate to finally get a girlfriend, but he’s a cartoon character, poor guy. He was screwed from the moment he found out she was a seventh-grader.

    Women’s names go out of style much faster than men’s. I’ve never known a Gertrude. It apparently was a very popular name in the 1890s-1920s. You never know, maybe it will come back. But I doubt it.

    Stephan Pastis once said that having a character react in the last panel is too obvious a sign that a joke has been told, but after this strip and the previous two-no offense-I am beginning wonder whether that is truly the case. To me, Nate’s reactions have only served to increase the comedic effect

    Gertrude?? Who looks at their teeny newborn and goes: I’ll name her GERTRUDE! It’s like a name for old ladies.
